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

in Product 2 upvotes 8 months 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.
