    process of producing mRNA from a gene's DNA template

    mRNA expression, also known as messenger RNA expression, refers to the process by which the information encoded in a gene is used to produce mRNA molecules. These mRNA molecules serve as templates for synthesizing proteins, which perform various functions in the body. Measuring mRNA expression levels can provide insights into how active a particular gene is under certain conditions, which is crucial for understanding biological processes and disease mechanisms, including those related to hair growth and alopecia.
