GlossaryGenomic Regions

specific DNA segments with distinct functions or characteristics

Genomic regions are specific segments of DNA within an organism's genome that have distinct functions or characteristics. These regions can include genes, which code for proteins, as well as regulatory elements that control gene expression, and non-coding areas that may have structural or other roles. Understanding these regions helps scientists identify how genetic variations can influence traits and diseases, such as alopecia.

community Is it sufficient to block scalp DHT topically, or is it also necessary to reduce serum DHT? (My Question is Elaborated Below)

in Research/Science 17 upvotes 5 months ago

Topical finasteride can be as effective as oral finasteride for hair regrowth with fewer systemic side effects, but precise dosing is essential. Combining oral dutasteride with topical finasteride is not recommended due to dutasteride's stronger inhibition.

community How is it possible for someone to be a non responder to ORAL minoxidil?

in Minoxidil 66 upvotes 1 year ago

Some individuals do not respond to oral minoxidil for hair loss, despite it generally working by improving blood flow to hair follicles. Factors like metabolism, drug interactions, and individual variations in the drug's activation may influence its effectiveness.
