    Glossary Long Non-Coding RNAs

    regulate gene expression without coding for proteins

    Long Non-Coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a type of RNA molecule that are longer than 200 nucleotides and do not code for proteins. Instead, they play crucial roles in regulating gene expression, influencing processes such as cell differentiation, development, and disease mechanisms, including those related to hair growth and alopecia.
