Glossary DNA synthesis

process of creating an exact copy of DNA

DNA synthesis, also known as DNA replication, is the process by which a cell makes an exact copy of its DNA. This is crucial for cell division, allowing each new cell to have the same genetic information as the parent cell. The process involves unwinding the double helix, using each strand as a template to build a new complementary strand, and is facilitated by enzymes like DNA polymerase.

community Prevention of age-related beard graying in humans by the topical application of Eriodictyon angustifolium extract

5 upvotes 4 years ago

Topical application of Eriodictyon angustifolium extract can prevent and reverse age-related beard graying and darken gray hair by increasing melanin production. Sterubin, a component of the extract, also promotes hair pigmentation and protects cells from DNA damage.

community BREAKTHROUGH: I’m a radiochemist and discovered a radioactive isotope scalp serum that OUTPERFORMS Minoxidil and 5-AR inhibitors! (Lab Data Inside)

in Satire 1 year ago

A satirical post where someone claims to have developed a radioactive isotope scalp serum using Polonium-210 that outperforms Minoxidil and finasteride for hair regrowth. The serum reportedly stimulates DNA repair in hair follicles, leading to significant hair density increase, but the post is met with skepticism and concerns about safety.

community Possible natural pp405 solution

in Research/Science 45 upvotes 1 year ago

Rotenone, a natural plant extract, may promote hair growth by increasing LDH activity and blocking MPC in the scalp, but it carries risks due to its toxicity. The suggested formulation includes Barbasco extract, DMSO, propylene glycol or PEG-400, ethanol, and a carrier oil.

community Crazy growth after adding ostrich oil + microneedling in 2 months. (already on treatment previously)

65 upvotes 3 weeks ago

The user experienced significant hair growth after adding ostrich oil and weekly microneedling to their existing treatment of topical dutasteride and minoxidil. They believe the combination of ostrich oil and microneedling contributed to the results, although some users suggest the increased microneedling frequency might be the main factor.

community Androgen degraders for hair loss

learn Folic acid

How does folic acid support hair follicle health and growth at a cellular level? Folate is required for the DNA synthesis that fast-dividing hair matrix cells depend on, and severe deficiency causes anemia—but no published trial has given folic acid to people with hair loss and measured the result, so a growth effect is a mechanism, not a finding.

learn Vitamin B12

How does Vitamin B12 deficiency contribute to hair loss and thinning? Vitamin B12 deficiency can disrupt DNA synthesis, leading to hair loss and thinning.
