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.

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.
