    laboratory method to introduce foreign DNA into cells

    Transfection is a laboratory technique used to introduce foreign DNA or RNA into cells. This process allows scientists to study gene function and expression, and can be used to produce proteins or to modify the genetic makeup of the cells. For example, in the context of hair research, transfection might be used to investigate the role of specific genes in hair growth or to develop treatments for conditions like alopecia.
