Did you mean Non-coding RNAs?

Glossary Non-coding RNAs

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 What new hair-loss treatments actually look exciting right now (Oct 2025)

171 upvotes 11 months ago

New hair loss treatments include Breezula, PP405, ET-02, KX-826, GT20029, VDPHL01, and CosmeRNA, with some showing promise in reactivating stem cells and reversing greying. Breezula and VDPHL01 are highlighted as potential add-ons or alternatives to current treatments like finasteride and minoxidil.

community Journey against alopecia - Finasteride 3 month

17 upvotes 4 years ago

A 26-year-old man from France started experiencing hair loss in September 2020 and began using finasteride in June 2021, reporting some improvement after three months without side effects. He plans to continue finasteride for a year before considering additional treatments like minoxidil or dermarolling.

community So we have 20k dollars human like machines available but no new effective treatment for hairloss since finasteride :)

in Chat 237 upvotes 1 year ago

There have been no new effective hair loss treatments since finasteride, despite technological advancements. Current treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841, with ongoing challenges and potential future solutions in research.

community We need to keep these snake oil companies accountable.

in Treatment 120 upvotes 2 years ago

Biotin is being misleadingly marketed as a primary treatment for androgenic alopecia, overshadowing more effective treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. There is a call for increased awareness and accountability to prevent misinformation.

community Quit vaping/smoking = 80% less loss

in Research/Science 235 upvotes 2 years ago

Quitting vaping significantly reduced hair loss for a user who was a heavy vaper and also taking finasteride. Some participants suggest nicotine's vasoconstrictive properties may worsen hair loss, while others share personal anecdotes of hair improvement after quitting smoking or vaping.
