    GlossaryGene Expression Regulation

    control of when and how much genes produce their products

    Gene Expression Regulation refers to the processes that control the timing, location, and amount of a gene's product (such as a protein) being produced. This can involve mechanisms at various stages, including transcription (when DNA is copied into RNA), RNA processing, translation (when RNA is used to make proteins), and post-translational modifications. Proper regulation is crucial for normal development, cellular function, and response to environmental changes.

      in Research/Science 1 week 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.
