Injecting specific oligonucleotides can change hair growth and structure by altering a gene.
research Micro-RNA-31 Controls Hair Cycle-Associated Changes in Gene Expression Programs of the Skin and Hair Follicle
miR-31 regulates hair growth by controlling gene expression in hair follicles.
research A Mouse Model for the Basal Transcription and DNA Repair Syndrome Trichothiodystrophy
Researchers created a mouse with the same mutation as humans with trichothiodystrophy, showing similar symptoms and confirming the condition is due to defects in DNA repair and gene activity.
