    system learns to recognize and remember specific pathogens

    Adaptive immunity, also known as acquired immunity or specific immunity, is the part of the immune system that learns to recognize and remember specific pathogens. Unlike innate immunity, which provides a general defense, adaptive immunity tailors its response to each unique invader, improving its effectiveness over time. This system involves specialized cells like T cells and B cells, which can remember past infections and provide a faster, more robust response upon subsequent exposures.

      The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
