Did you mean Histone Methylation?

GlossaryHistone Methylation

process adding methyl groups to histone proteins, affecting gene expression

Histone methylation is a biological process where methyl groups are added to histone proteins, which help package DNA in cells. This modification can either activate or repress gene expression, influencing how genes are turned on or off. For professionals, it's a key epigenetic mechanism that affects chromatin structure and function, playing a crucial role in development, differentiation, and disease.

community Stem Cells May Get Rid Of Balding FOREVER!

in Technology 10 upvotes 2 years ago

Stem cell therapy shows promise in treating hair loss by mimicking DHT-resistant cells from the back of the head. Traditional treatments like finasteride are also discussed, but stem cells could potentially offer a more permanent solution.

community So we have 20k dollars human like machines available but no new effective treatment for hairloss since finasteride :)

in Chat 237 upvotes 1 year ago

There have been no new effective hair loss treatments since finasteride, despite technological advancements. Current treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841, with ongoing challenges and potential future solutions in research.

community A hill on which I will die: The DHT itch absolutely exists

in Research/Science 210 upvotes 2 years ago

The DHT itch is linked to hair loss and persists despite finasteride use; switching to dutasteride helped alleviate the itch and promoted regrowth. Some users suggest seborrheic dermatitis as a cause and recommend treatments like medicated shampoos, vitamin D, and minoxidil.
