    process where DNA is converted into RNA

    Gene transcription, also known simply as transcription, is the process by which a cell converts a segment of DNA into RNA. This is a crucial step in gene expression, where the information encoded in a gene is used to produce a functional product, typically a protein. During transcription, an enzyme called RNA polymerase reads the DNA sequence of a gene and synthesizes a complementary RNA strand, which can then be translated into a protein or serve other functions within the cell.

      Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

      community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

      in Research  692 upvotes 3 months ago
      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
