Glossary Genetic Engineering

process of altering an organism's DNA to achieve desired traits

Genetic engineering, also known as genetic modification, is the process of altering the DNA of an organism to achieve desired traits. This can involve adding, removing, or modifying specific genes to enhance characteristics such as disease resistance in plants, or to produce insulin in bacteria for medical use.

learn Vitamin B1

Thinning hair over time? It might not just be genetics: lack of B1 and B2 could be silently working against you. There is no verified human trial showing that B1 or B2 deficiency causes thinning hair or that correcting it regrows hair; a 2019 review concludes the role of micronutrients in hair loss is real but unclear and still needs controlled trials.
