    TLDR Certain RNA molecules are important for the development of wool follicles in sheep.
    The study investigated the roles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and mRNAs in the induction of primary wool follicles in carpet sheep fetal skin using RNA sequencing. Researchers identified 1,234 lncRNAs and 2,345 mRNAs differentially expressed during wool follicle development, with key pathways such as WNT, BMP, EDAR, and FGF significantly enriched. The findings provided insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying wool follicle induction, suggesting complex regulatory relationships between lncRNAs and mRNAs, and highlighted potential applications for improving wool production and understanding hair growth in other species.

      in Update  10 upvotes 2 years ago
      Hair loss treatments, specifically Minoxidil, Fluridil & Alfatradiol, Nizoral, Saw Palmetto, Hairmetto and Microneedling. The user mentioned they have seen a decrease in shedding and improvement in the quality/density of their hair since using this stack, but opted out of trying Finasteride due to potential side effects.

      Hair loss treatments, specifically the use of finasteride, microneedling and potentially oral minoxidil. People discussed their experiences with finasteride, its effects on sexual behaviors, as well as potential solutions such as tadalafil or using other growth factor signal peptides for hope in curing male pattern baldness.
