    GlossaryPost-transcriptional regulation

    control of gene expression after RNA is made from DNA

    Post-transcriptional regulation refers to the control of gene expression after the DNA has been transcribed into RNA but before it is translated into proteins. This process includes modifications like RNA splicing, editing, transport, and stability, which ultimately influence how much protein is produced from a gene. For example, in hair biology, post-transcriptional regulation can affect the production of proteins involved in hair growth and maintenance, potentially impacting conditions like alopecia.

      community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

      in Research/Science  140 upvotes 11 months ago
      The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.

      community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

      in Research  828 upvotes 5 months ago
      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
