GlossaryNon-coding RNAs (ncRNAs)

molecules of RNA that regulate gene expression without making proteins

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are molecules of RNA that do not encode proteins but play crucial roles in regulating gene expression and maintaining cellular functions. They include various types such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which can influence processes like cell growth, differentiation, and response to stress, making them important in both normal biology and disease states.

community Dutasteride just FEELS better than finasteride

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 173 upvotes 1 week ago

Dutasteride is favored over finasteride by some for better hair loss reversal, improved skin, and fewer side effects, though individual responses vary. It may also help with dandruff and eczema but has a slightly higher risk of gynecomastia.
