GlossaryNext-Generation Sequencing

modern DNA sequencing technology that processes millions of fragments simultaneously

Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a modern DNA sequencing technology that allows for the rapid sequencing of large stretches of DNA or entire genomes. Unlike traditional methods, NGS can process millions of DNA fragments simultaneously, making it a powerful tool for genetic research, including studying genetic causes of diseases like alopecia.

community I believe CRISPR-on & CRISPR-off is an ultimate CURE for baldness, unlike Hair Cloning or hair loss treatments.

in Research/Science 24 upvotes 5 years ago

The conversation discusses CRISPR-on & CRISPR-off as a potential cure for baldness, contrasting it with hair cloning and other treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. It also mentions the potential of mRNA for gene expression control and the prioritization of gene editing for severe genetic conditions.

community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

in Research/Science 20 upvotes 8 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.
