    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.
