    technology to analyze gene expression by examining RNA transcripts

    RNA sequencing, often abbreviated as RNA-seq, is a technology that allows scientists to study the complete set of RNA transcripts produced by the genome under specific circumstances or in a specific cell. This method provides insights into gene expression patterns, helping researchers understand how genes are turned on or off in different conditions, which is crucial for studying diseases like alopecia and other biological processes.

      in Satire  266 upvotes 3 years ago
      Hair loss theories discussed include poor blood flow, scalp tension, inflammation, and DHT. Treatments mentioned are massaging scalp, minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.

      community How do we only have two treatments to combat hair loss at this point in time?

      in Chat  211 upvotes 1 year ago
      The post discusses frustration over the limited and not always effective treatments for hair loss, mainly Minoxidil and Finasteride. The conversation includes mentions of potential new treatments like GT20029, HMI-115, CosmeRNA, KX-826, and microneedling, but also highlights the challenges of funding and prioritizing research in this area.

      Exploring different treatments for hair loss, such as cosmeRNA and HMI-115 which are small interference messenger RNA that inhibits the DHT receptor and an antibody that binds to the prolactin (PRL) receptor respectively; and researching mechanism and environment of hyperresponders.
