GlossaryCell Structure (cell composition)

organization of organelles within a cell

Cell structure, also known as cell anatomy or cell morphology, refers to the organization and arrangement of various components within a cell. These components, called organelles, include the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and others, each performing specific functions essential for the cell's survival and operation. Understanding cell structure is crucial for studying how cells function, interact, and contribute to the overall biology of an organism.

community Pyrilutamide ,the molecule’s true nature

in Research 302 upvotes 4 months ago

Pyrilutamide is a selective AR antagonist with a high binding affinity, making it effective in competing with DHT for androgen receptors. The 1% concentration is more effective than the 0.5%, but the latter may suffice for mild hair loss; the drug is considered a good option for those avoiding 5AR blockers due to side effects.
