Glossary Epigenetic Regulation

chemical modifications that turn genes on or off

Epigenetic Regulation refers to the process by which genes are turned on or off without changing the underlying DNA sequence. This is achieved through chemical modifications, such as DNA methylation and histone modification, which can influence gene expression and, consequently, cellular function. These changes can be influenced by environmental factors and can be heritable, playing a crucial role in development, disease, and adaptation.

community Prolactin the Cause of Hair Loss? ABS-201 the Cure?

29 upvotes 2 months ago

Prolactin may contribute to hair loss, but targeting its receptor won't cure androgenetic alopecia. ABS-201 could be a useful alternative or adjuvant therapy, similar to JAK inhibitors, but not more effective than HMI-115.

community We already know how to permanently fix hair loss. The science is done. The only thing missing is the funding to run one experiment.

in Technology 613 upvotes 4 months ago

A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hair follicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.

community End of Hair loss ( AGA ) ? Since they produce it in china probably we don’t need to wait other 10 yrs😁

276 upvotes 6 months ago

GT20029 is a new hair loss treatment in Phase 3 trials in China, using PROTAC technology to target androgen receptors, potentially with fewer side effects than finasteride and minoxidil. VDPHL01, a second-generation minoxidil, is also mentioned as potentially more effective.

community Rethinking DHT and Hair Loss: Are We Targeting the Wrong Enemy?

in Research/Science 1 year ago

Blocking DHT is not a cure for hair loss; instead, altering how scalp follicles respond to DHT might be more effective. Current treatments like topical finasteride and minoxidil are temporary solutions, and future approaches may involve gene therapy and bioengineering to change follicle behavior.

community EU Shouldn't Ban Fin & Dut: PFS is NOT REAL.

10 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride and Dutasteride do not cause depression or "Post Finasteride Syndrome," with concerns often linked to the nocebo effect and preexisting mental health issues. The EU is unlikely to ban these drugs, but access may become more restricted due to ongoing debates.
