Glossary Gene Expression

process where genetic information directs protein or RNA synthesis

Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used to synthesize functional gene products, such as proteins or RNA. This process involves two main stages: transcription, where the DNA sequence of a gene is copied into mRNA, and translation, where the mRNA is used as a template to build proteins. Gene expression is tightly regulated to ensure that the right genes are expressed at the right times and in the right amounts, which is crucial for normal development, cellular function, and response to environmental changes.

research Gene Expression of Mouse S100A3, a Cysteine-Rich Calcium-Binding Protein, in Developing Hair Follicle

40 citations , November 1998 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study found that the S100A3 gene is exclusively expressed in hair follicle cells differentiating into hair shaft components in mice, suggesting its important role in hair formation.

research The mouse hairy ears mutation exhibits an extended growth (anagen) phase in hair follicles and altered Hoxc gene expression in the ears

10 citations , November 2008 in “Veterinary Dermatology”

In this study, the misshaped and hairy ear phenotype in mutant mice was linked to mis-expression of certain Hoxc genes due to a chromosomal inversion.

research Evaluation of Gene Expression Patterns in Micrografts Demonstrate Induction of Catagen-Like Processes During Storage

5 citations , January 2017 in “Dermatologic Surgery”

This study observed that storing hair follicle micrografts significantly decreased the expression of certain key genes in the dermal papilla, potentially affecting hair follicle cycling during preparation and storage.

research Seasonal Gene Expression Profile Responsible For Hair Follicle Development In Angora Goats

2 citations , March 2022 in “Research Square (Research Square)”

In this study, the expression of certain hair follicle-related genes differed between growth phases in Angora goats, with HOXC13 showing overexpression during the anagen phase, potentially influencing the mohair's shine and texture.

community Why dont we research more on body hair

in Chat 32 upvotes 6 months ago

Body hair is more resilient than scalp hair due to different gene expressions and DHT sensitivity. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are used for hair loss, but they have varying effects on body and scalp hair.

community It’s all about the stem cells…

53 upvotes 4 years ago

Hair loss is linked to the loss of stem cells in hair follicles, and potential treatments include gene editing and microneedling. Discussions also mention using Minoxidil, finasteride, and dermarolling to improve hair growth.

community My Idea for a possible new hairloss treatment

53 upvotes 6 years ago

Exploring a potential hair loss treatment using the enzyme AKR1C2 to locally reduce DHT levels. Challenges include enzyme delivery through the skin and high production costs, with gene therapy or stem cells suggested as future alternatives.

community Potential ( but not yet confirmed ) pp405 leak through korean media.

233 upvotes 10 months ago

A peptide-based hair loss treatment, PP405, reportedly increased hair density by 62% in 90 days, but these claims are unverified and met with skepticism. Users compared PP405 to Minoxidil and Finasteride, expressing doubts about its effectiveness without more evidence.

community Had a son while being on FIN, MUST READ

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 619 upvotes 2 years ago

A user shared his experience of having two healthy children while continuously using finasteride (Fin) for hair loss, challenging fears about its potential impact on fetal development. The discussion that followed included various perspectives, with some users sharing similar experiences, others expressing concerns about potential risks, and some emphasizing the need for more substantial evidence before drawing conclusions.
