    immune response involving T cells targeting infected or abnormal cells

    Cell-Mediated Immunity (CMI) is a type of immune response that does not involve antibodies but instead relies on the activation of certain immune cells, particularly T cells, to fight off pathogens, infected cells, and cancer cells. This form of immunity is crucial for defending against intracellular pathogens, such as viruses and some bacteria, and plays a significant role in transplant rejection and autoimmune diseases.

      community Looks like a real cure to the root of baldness (DHT-induced senescence) was proven earlier this year

      in Research/Science  736 upvotes 2 years ago
      A study that outlines the full model for androgenic alopecia (AGA) which links DHT to cellular senescence in dermal papilla cells, and suggests black chokeberry as a source of cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside polyphenol with potential anti-oxidant properties that could reverse this process. The post encourages reaching out to experts in anti-aging and longevity to research treatments involving the polyphenol.

      community Does melatonin dissolve in isopropyl alcohol

      in Technology  7 upvotes 2 years ago
      The conversation discusses making a topical melatonin solution for hair loss treatment, questioning if isopropyl alcohol can dissolve melatonin. Melatonin is soluble in lipids and alcohol, but it's unstable and should be mixed fresh regularly; it may help hair growth by affecting certain cellular signaling pathways and has anti-androgenic effects.
