GlossarymicroRNA

small RNA molecules that regulate gene expression by binding mRNA

MicroRNA (miRNA) are small, non-coding RNA molecules, typically about 22 nucleotides long, that play a crucial role in regulating gene expression. They function by binding to complementary sequences on messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules, leading to mRNA degradation or inhibition of translation, thereby controlling various biological processes, including development, differentiation, and disease.

community MicroRNA can regrow 90% of lost hair, researchers find

in Treatment 502 upvotes 3 years ago

Researchers finding that microRNA can potentially regrow 90% of lost hair, and the challenges involved in moving this research forward to human trials. Various treatments for hair loss, such as finasteride and minoxidil, have been discussed.

community Baldness Breakthrough: microRNA Stimulates Hair Growth in Aging Follicles

in Technology 320 upvotes 2 years ago

miR-205, a tiny RNA, can stimulate hair growth by softening aging hair follicle stem cells in mice. Future tests aim to see if this can work in humans.

community Target Area Hair Count (TAHC) increase comparasion of all future treatments in clinical trial phases

in Research/Science 35 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride, Minoxidil, Bioneer CosmeRNA, Technoderma, Kintor, Hope, Breezula, and Follicum treatments showed increases in hair count, with Technoderma showing the highest increase at 24.3 hairs/cm². Amplifica has not yet published results.

community Hair repigmentation of poliosis circumscripta in androgenetic alopecia patient treated with exosomes and fractional picosecond laser

in Product 2 upvotes 2 years ago

Exosomes combined with fractional picosecond laser treatment were effective in treating androgenetic alopecia and promoting repigmentation in white hair patches. The role of exosomes in hair repigmentation, particularly in conditions like poliosis, is not well-studied.

community Is this regrowth? My doctor took these photos and said I looked better.

in Satire 142 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation humorously discusses an extensive and exaggerated hair loss treatment regimen, including finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, pyrilutamide, RU58841, and various other therapies. Despite the numerous treatments, the effectiveness is questioned, and the user humorously considers adding more minoxidil.
