    technique to measure gene activity in different conditions

    Gene Expression Analysis is a technique used to study how genes are turned on or off in cells, which helps scientists understand how genes contribute to various biological processes and diseases. By measuring the levels of RNA produced from genes, researchers can determine which genes are active in different tissues or under different conditions, providing insights into functions like hair growth or the mechanisms behind conditions like alopecia.

      The conversation is about the debate over the existence of Post-Finasteride Syndrome (PFS) and its symptoms, with some users skeptical about PFS and others discussing side effects like erectile dysfunction and gynecomastia from hair loss treatments like finasteride. Specific treatments mentioned include finasteride, viagra, and a joke about using a popsicle stick for erectile support.

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  60 upvotes 2 months ago
      Dutasteride raises scalp testosterone by 99%, which may not be ideal for those sensitive to all androgens. Some argue finasteride's balancing act might be better, while others believe dutasteride is superior for hair regrowth.

      Biotin is being misleadingly marketed as a primary treatment for androgenic alopecia, overshadowing more effective treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. There is a call for increased awareness and accountability to prevent misinformation.
