    GlossarymRNA extraction

    process isolates messenger RNA from cells for gene expression study

    mRNA extraction, also known as messenger RNA extraction or mRNA isolation, is a laboratory process used to isolate messenger RNA (mRNA) from a sample of cells or tissues. This is important because mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where proteins are synthesized. By isolating mRNA, researchers can study gene expression and understand how genes are regulated in different conditions, which is crucial for fields like genetics, molecular biology, and medical research.

      community Can liver problems be associated with response to the oral minoxidil?

      in Research  132 upvotes 2 days ago
      Liver problems may reduce the effectiveness of oral minoxidil due to impaired SULT1A1 enzyme activity, which is crucial for converting minoxidil to its active form. This reduction in enzyme function can significantly decrease the drug's effectiveness in promoting hair growth.
