GlossaryPost-Transcriptional Gene Silencing

cells inhibit gene expression after RNA is made

Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is a cellular process where the expression of specific genes is inhibited after the DNA has been transcribed into RNA. This is often achieved through mechanisms like RNA interference (RNAi), where small RNA molecules bind to the messenger RNA (mRNA) and prevent it from being translated into proteins. This process is crucial for regulating gene expression and maintaining cellular function.

community What happened to the ‘funding’ for broccoli research in treating hair loss?

in Chat 43 upvotes 2 years ago

Hair loss discussion includes broccoli sprouts treatment, Fluridil 7%, and sulforaphane, with mixed results. Finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841 are preferred by some users.

community The Real Cause Of Androgenetic Alopecia

in Research/Science 666 upvotes 2 weeks ago

Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.

community HLT Megathread on HMI-115 (key takeaways in comments)

in Research/Science 39 upvotes 1 year ago

HMI-115, a newly discovered hair loss treatment that could potentially be effective for those with diffuse thinning and telogen effluvium. It is based on prolactin receptor antagonist signaling and has already undergone Phase I trials in women, with potential commercialization by 2027.

community Testosterone in Reference Range Doesn't Cause Hair Loss

in Research/Science 51 upvotes 9 months ago

Testosterone within the normal range does not significantly contribute to male pattern baldness (MPB); DHT is the main factor that can be controlled. Genetics play a crucial role in hair loss, and treatments like finasteride and dutasteride, which block DHT, can help despite potentially raising testosterone levels.

community DHT/Testosterone levels in scalp Fin VS Dut.

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 60 upvotes 3 months ago

Dutasteride raises scalp testosterone by 99%, which may not be ideal for those sensitive to all androgens. Some argue finasteride's balancing act might be better, while others believe dutasteride is superior for hair regrowth.
