    mice with altered genomes to study specific gene effects

    Transgenic mice, also known as genetically modified mice, are mice that have had their genomes altered through the introduction of foreign DNA. This genetic modification allows researchers to study the effects of specific genes on development, physiology, and disease, making them invaluable tools in biomedical research.

      community Does lowering serum prolactin lower prolactin in the scalp?

      in Research/Science  13 upvotes 1 year ago
      The conversation discusses whether not masturbating (semen retention) affects hair loss, with opinions varying but generally dismissing the idea. Some participants mention using hair loss treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841, but the effectiveness and relation to prolactin levels in the scalp are debated.

      community How much does diet affect hair loss?

      in Chat  45 upvotes 2 years ago
      The conversation suggests that changing diet and lifestyle has little to no effect on male pattern baldness (MPB), which is largely determined by genetics. Some individuals noted personal improvements in hair condition with healthier diets, but the consensus is that diet alone cannot prevent or reverse MPB.
