GlossaryGene Editing

technique to precisely alter an organism's DNA sequence

Gene editing, also known as genome editing, is a technique that allows scientists to alter an organism's DNA with high precision. This process involves adding, removing, or modifying specific genetic material at particular locations in the genome, often using tools like CRISPR-Cas9. It holds potential for treating genetic disorders, improving crop resilience, and even addressing hair loss conditions like alopecia by targeting and correcting the underlying genetic causes.

community I believe CRISPR-on & CRISPR-off is an ultimate CURE for baldness, unlike Hair Cloning or hair loss treatments.

in Research/Science 22 upvotes 3 years ago

The conversation discusses CRISPR-on & CRISPR-off as a potential cure for baldness, contrasting it with hair cloning and other treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. It also mentions the potential of mRNA for gene expression control and the prioritization of gene editing for severe genetic conditions.

community CRISPR Is Curing People Right Now. Genetic Hair Loss is Next?

in Technology 107 upvotes 2 months ago

CRISPR shows promise for treating hair loss by targeting specific genes. Current treatments include Minoxidil and finasteride, but CRISPR could offer a more precise solution, though it is still expensive and in early stages.

community How do we only have two treatments to combat hair loss at this point in time?

in Chat 211 upvotes 1 year ago

The post discusses frustration over the limited and not always effective treatments for hair loss, mainly Minoxidil and Finasteride. The conversation includes mentions of potential new treatments like GT20029, HMI-115, CosmeRNA, KX-826, and microneedling, but also highlights the challenges of funding and prioritizing research in this area.

community find a cure for this shit already

in Chat 207 upvotes 4 years ago

Treatments used to prevent and treat male pattern baldness, the difficulty in finding a permanent cure for hair loss, and the potential financial motivations of companies not wanting to find a cure.

community Anyone else freaking out over their barber using those thinning scissors

in Chat 89 upvotes 1 month ago

Thinning scissors can worsen the appearance of already thin hair. Some recommend being clear with barbers and using Minoxidil for hair loss.
