Glossary RNA interference

process where small RNA molecules silence specific genes

RNA interference (RNAi) is a biological process where small RNA molecules inhibit gene expression by neutralizing targeted mRNA molecules. This mechanism effectively "silences" specific genes, preventing them from producing proteins, and is used in research and medicine to study gene function and develop treatments for diseases.

community We already know how to permanently fix hair loss. The science is done. The only thing missing is the funding to run one experiment.

in Technology 613 upvotes 4 months ago

A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hair follicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.

community End of Hair loss ( AGA ) ? Since they produce it in china probably we don’t need to wait other 10 yrs😁

276 upvotes 6 months ago

GT20029 is a new hair loss treatment in Phase 3 trials in China, using PROTAC technology to target androgen receptors, potentially with fewer side effects than finasteride and minoxidil. VDPHL01, a second-generation minoxidil, is also mentioned as potentially more effective.
