MicroRNA promotes hair growth in mice
Hair growth has been stimulated in young and old mice using microRNA, with the potential for future trials in humans to treat baldness...
MicroRNAs are small, non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression by suppressing the RNA pathway that translates genes into protein. They act like 'master switches', having the ability to control the activity of multiple genes.
