    process where genetic information directs protein or RNA synthesis

    Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used to synthesize functional gene products, such as proteins or RNA. This process involves two main stages: transcription, where the DNA sequence of a gene is copied into mRNA, and translation, where the mRNA is used as a template to build proteins. Gene expression is tightly regulated to ensure that the right genes are expressed at the right times and in the right amounts, which is crucial for normal development, cellular function, and response to environmental changes.

      community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

      in Research/Science  19 upvotes 4 months ago
      Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.

      community Switch from fin to dut and its worse

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  6 upvotes 10 months ago
      Switching from finasteride to dutasteride can worsen hair loss for some men due to increased testosterone levels. Topical treatments like RU58841 and Pyrilutamide are suggested to counteract these effects, but individual responses vary.

      The user experienced significant hair regrowth after three months of using 5 mg oral minoxidil nightly and plans to add finasteride to maintain progress. Many recommend combining minoxidil with finasteride or dutasteride to prevent future hair loss.
