    GlossaryMolecular Mechanisms

    biochemical interactions within cells driving biological functions

    Molecular mechanisms refer to the specific biochemical interactions and processes that occur within cells at the molecular level, driving various biological functions. These mechanisms involve the actions of molecules like DNA, RNA, proteins, and enzymes, which work together to regulate activities such as gene expression, cell signaling, and metabolic pathways. Understanding these processes is crucial for both diagnosing and developing treatments for diseases, including those affecting hair growth and causing conditions like alopecia.
