GlossaryTranscription Factors

proteins that regulate gene expression by binding to DNA

Transcription Factors (TFs) are proteins that help turn specific genes on or off by binding to nearby DNA. They play a crucial role in regulating gene expression, ensuring that genes are activated at the right time and in the right cells, which is essential for processes like development, cell growth, and response to environmental signals.

community I want to sacrifice my hair in the name of science

in Chat 12 upvotes 3 years ago

The conversation discusses various theories of hair loss, including DHT sensitivity and genetic factors, with the user willing to use themselves for research due to having a hair loss gene but different hair loss patterns compared to their brothers. Specific treatments were not mentioned in the provided text.

community Testosterone in Reference Range Doesn't Cause Hair Loss

in Research/Science 53 upvotes 2 years 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.
