GlossaryMuscle Atrophy

decrease in muscle mass and strength due to inactivity

Muscle atrophy, also known as muscle wasting, refers to the decrease in muscle mass and strength due to a variety of factors such as prolonged inactivity, aging, malnutrition, or certain medical conditions like ALS or muscular dystrophy. This condition results from an imbalance between protein synthesis and degradation within muscle tissues, leading to the shrinkage and weakening of muscle fibers.

community I believe CRISPR-on & CRISPR-off is an ultimate CURE for baldness, unlike Hair Cloning or hair loss treatments.

Mr_Rolandas in Research/Science 22 upvotes 3 years ago

The conversation discusses CRISPR-on & CRISPR-off as a potential cure for baldness, contrasting it with hair cloning and other treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. It also mentions the potential of mRNA for gene expression control and the prioritization of gene editing for severe genetic conditions.
