GlossaryCRISPR (CRISPR technology)

gene-editing tool that precisely alters DNA sequences

CRISPR, which stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, is a revolutionary gene-editing technology that allows scientists to precisely alter DNA sequences within organisms. It utilizes the Cas9 protein to cut DNA at specific locations, enabling the addition, removal, or modification of genetic material, which has vast implications for treating genetic disorders, improving crops, and advancing biological research.

community CRISPR Is Curing People Right Now. Genetic Hair Loss is Next?

in Technology 107 upvotes 2 months ago

CRISPR shows promise for treating hair loss by targeting specific genes. Current treatments include Minoxidil and finasteride, but CRISPR could offer a more precise solution, though it is still expensive and in early stages.

community I believe CRISPR-on & CRISPR-off is an ultimate CURE for baldness, unlike Hair Cloning or hair loss treatments.

in Research/Science 22 upvotes 3 years ago

The conversation discusses CRISPR-on & CRISPR-off as a potential cure for baldness, contrasting it with hair cloning and other treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. It also mentions the potential of mRNA for gene expression control and the prioritization of gene editing for severe genetic conditions.

community Target Area Hair Count (TAHC) increase comparasion of all future treatments in clinical trial phases

in Research/Science 35 upvotes 8 months ago

Finasteride, Minoxidil, Bioneer CosmeRNA, Technoderma, Kintor, Hope, Breezula, and Follicum treatments showed increases in hair count, with Technoderma showing the highest increase at 24.3 hairs/cm². Amplifica has not yet published results.

community Why is nobody studying the difference between donor and balding hair?

in Chat 89 upvotes 6 months ago

The conversation discusses why the difference between donor and balding hair isn't studied more to find a cure for hair loss. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.

community CRISPR treatment for AGA on the horizon after approval for blood disorders

in Treatment 10 upvotes 10 months ago

CRISPR treatments for blood disorders have been approved, leading to discussions about its potential for treating hair loss (AGA). A study showed that editing a gene related to DHT sensitivity could lead to hair regrowth, suggesting CRISPR may eventually be used for AGA, but it's expected to be expensive and not soon available.
