    TLDR The new sensor can detect a toxic chemical in water with high sensitivity and accuracy.
    The study successfully synthesized a hexagonal 3D Fe-MOF (Metal-organic-framework) using a hydrothermal method, which was then carbonized to produce a nanoscale zerovalent iron core with a carbon shell. This was combined with carbon black nanoparticles through sonication. The resulting material was used to create an electrochemical sensor for the detection of Metol (MTL), a toxic contaminant used in the photographic industry and hair dyes. The sensor demonstrated low detection limits, high sensitivity, and good linear ranges, making it an effective tool for monitoring MTL presence in various water samples.

      Bee venom at 0.001% concentration was more effective than 2% minoxidil in promoting hair growth in mice, possibly due to increased growth factors and reduced inflammation. Caution is advised due to potential allergic reactions and the reliance on animal data.

      community How much does diet affect hair loss?

      in Chat  45 upvotes 2 years ago
      The conversation suggests that changing diet and lifestyle has little to no effect on male pattern baldness (MPB), which is largely determined by genetics. Some individuals noted personal improvements in hair condition with healthier diets, but the consensus is that diet alone cannot prevent or reverse MPB.
