    specific DNA sequences that boost gene activity

    Enhancers are specific DNA sequences that can increase the activity of genes, even if they are located far away from the gene they regulate. They work by binding to proteins called transcription factors, which help initiate the process of converting DNA into RNA, ultimately leading to protein production. This regulation is crucial for controlling gene expression in various biological processes, including hair growth and development.

      in Research/Science  37 upvotes 1 month ago
      PP405 from Everychem is likely fake and potentially harmful, with concerns about its stability and the risk of using the wrong MPC inhibitor, which could damage hair follicles. The real PP405 was studied under strict conditions, and DIY attempts are discouraged due to unknown formulation and quality control.
