    GlossarymRNA expression (mRNA synthesis)

    process of producing mRNA from a gene's DNA template

    mRNA expression, also known as messenger RNA expression, refers to the process by which the information encoded in a gene is used to produce mRNA molecules. These mRNA molecules serve as templates for synthesizing proteins, which perform various functions in the body. Measuring mRNA expression levels can provide insights into how active a particular gene is under certain conditions, which is crucial for understanding biological processes and disease mechanisms, including those related to hair growth and alopecia.

      community Vitamin C and hair growth PH levels

      in Product  34 upvotes 2 years ago
      The conversation is about using vitamin C and Magnesium L-Threonate for hair growth by reducing DHT binding to dermal papilla cells. The original post about vitamin C's pH levels and sebum control was possibly removed by a moderator.

      community The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!

      in Research/Science  2445 upvotes 3 years ago
      The post and conversation are about the role of the enzyme 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase in hair loss and the potential of compounds like procyanidin B2 and sulforaphane to boost its activity for hair regrowth. Further research is needed to develop effective treatments based on this theory.
