GlossaryAutografts

tissue transplants from one part of a person's body to another

Autografts, also known as autologous grafts or self-grafts, are tissue transplants taken from one part of a person's body and transplanted to another part of the same person's body. This technique is commonly used in procedures like skin grafts for burn victims or hair transplants for individuals experiencing hair loss, as it eliminates the risk of immune rejection since the tissue is the patient's own.

community Expectations control for SCUBE3

in Research/Science 21 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.
