    Glossary Molecular Biology

    studies cellular processes involving DNA, RNA, and proteins

    Molecular Biology is the branch of biology that focuses on the molecular mechanisms within cells, particularly the interactions between DNA, RNA, and proteins. It involves studying how genetic information is encoded, replicated, and expressed, providing insights into cellular function, development, and disease. This field is crucial for understanding the molecular basis of conditions like alopecia, where genetic and protein interactions can influence hair growth and loss.

      community Why hasn’t anyone made a "DHT sponge" biologic yet???

      in Research/Science  45 upvotes 10 months ago
      The conversation discusses the potential for developing a biologic "DHT sponge" to neutralize DHT in the bloodstream as a treatment for hair loss, suggesting it could be more targeted and have fewer side effects than current treatments like finasteride and dutasteride. Concerns include the complexity, cost, and potential side effects of such a treatment, as well as skepticism about its feasibility and market interest.

      community New article on PP405..........

      in Research/Science  109 upvotes 1 year ago
      Scientists at UCLA have developed a promising treatment for male pattern baldness using a molecule called PP405, which can potentially stimulate dormant hair follicles. Initial trials showed significant results within a week, but larger clinical trials are needed to confirm its efficacy and safety.

      community Any interesting future treatments around the corner

       7 upvotes 6 years ago
      Potential future hair loss treatments include stem cell therapy, Clascosterone (Breezula), Amplifica's signaling molecules, Botox, and dutasteride mesotherapy. Some treatments are promising but expensive, like Tsuji's technique, while others, like Botox, show unexpected results.

      community New Hair Loss Cure: AMP-303 Is Back. It’s what PP405 should have been.

       7 upvotes 5 months ago
      AMP-303 and AMP-601 are new hair loss treatments targeting dermal papilla cells, with AMP-303 showing early efficacy in transitioning vellus hairs to terminal hairs after one injection. Further clinical trials are planned, and these treatments are seen as promising due to their biologic approach and less frequent application compared to daily treatments.
