Glossary Messenger RNA

carries genetic instructions from DNA to ribosomes for protein synthesis

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a type of RNA that carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where proteins are synthesized. It acts as a template for protein production, ensuring that the correct amino acids are assembled in the right order to form a specific protein.

Exosomes from Musely are being discussed as a topical hair loss treatment containing ingredients like latanoprost, caffeine, cetirizine, melatonin, vitamin D3, vitamin E, and biotin. Users are curious about its effectiveness and potential side effects, noting it may take 4-6 months to see results.

community Quit vaping/smoking = 80% less loss

in Research/Science 235 upvotes 2 years ago

Quitting vaping significantly reduced hair loss for a user who was a heavy vaper and also taking finasteride. Some participants suggest nicotine's vasoconstrictive properties may worsen hair loss, while others share personal anecdotes of hair improvement after quitting smoking or vaping.
