Did you mean Genomic Instability?

GlossaryGenomic Instability

increased tendency of DNA to acquire mutations

Genomic instability refers to an increased tendency of an organism's DNA to acquire mutations, which can lead to various genetic disorders, including cancer. For a layperson, it's like having a book where the words and sentences keep changing, making it hard to understand the original story. For professionals, it involves mechanisms such as DNA replication errors, defective DNA repair, and chromosomal rearrangements.

Minoxidil sulfate is more effective than regular minoxidil, especially for those with low sulfotransferase levels or scalp sensitivity, but it is unstable unless delivered in a liposomal format. Combining minoxidil with tretinoin can enhance effectiveness, and stopping minoxidil use can lead to rapid hair loss.
