GlossaryAllografts

tissue transplants between genetically different members of the same species

Allografts, also known as allogeneic grafts, refer to tissue transplants between genetically non-identical members of the same species. This type of graft is commonly used in medical procedures such as organ transplants, skin grafts, and bone marrow transplants. While allografts can be life-saving, they often require immunosuppressive drugs to prevent the recipient's immune system from rejecting the foreign tissue.

community Expectations control for SCUBE3

in Research/Science 22 upvotes 8 months ago

SCUBE3, a protein linked to hair growth in moles, was discovered over 25 years ago and is being developed by Amplifica for potential hair loss treatment. Concerns exist about SCUBE3's association with cancer, as it is a protein that promotes cell growth, which could potentially trigger cancer development if used for hair growth therapy.
