    studies cellular processes involving DNA, RNA, and proteins

    Molecular Biology is the branch of biology that focuses on the molecular mechanisms within cells, particularly the interactions between DNA, RNA, and proteins. It involves studying how genetic information is encoded, replicated, and expressed, providing insights into cellular function, development, and disease. This field is crucial for understanding the molecular basis of conditions like alopecia, where genetic and protein interactions can influence hair growth and loss.
