    TLDR MOF controls skin development by regulating genes for mitochondria and cilia.
    The study investigates the role of MOF-mediated histone H4 lysine 16 acetylation (H4K16ac) in mammalian skin development. Conditional deletion of Mof, but not Kansl1, leads to severe defects in murine skin, including failure of basal epithelial progenitors to establish the basement membrane and cell polarity, resulting in compromised self-renewal, epidermal differentiation, and hair growth, ultimately causing barrier defects and perinatal lethality. MOF-regulated genes are enriched in mitochondrial and ciliary functions, coordinated with the RFX2 transcription factor. Deletion of Uqcrq, a key subunit of ETC Complex III, mimics the defects seen in MOF cKO, highlighting the critical role of the MOF/ETC axis in skin development.

      community Why don’t people just just DUT instead of FIN?

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  48 upvotes 9 months ago
      The conversation discusses the use of dutasteride (DUT) versus finasteride (FIN) for hair loss treatment, with some users preferring DUT for its effectiveness while others choose FIN due to its approval status, better long-term data, and lower risk of side effects. Users share personal experiences with both medications, including side effects and effectiveness.

      A trans man shared progress pictures showing significant hair regrowth after 9 months on oral Minoxidil and 1.5 years on finasteride. He encourages others to stick with their treatments despite initial setbacks.

      community Almost there! Huge difference!

      The user has been using topical Minoxidil and oral Finasteride for 6 months to treat hair loss, with noticeable improvement. Another user mentioned using unnamed drops for 4 months to successfully reduce a bald patch, but with less effect on a receding hairline.
