    GlossarymRNA vaccine

    uses genetic instructions to trigger an immune response

    An mRNA vaccine, or messenger RNA vaccine, is a type of vaccine that uses a small piece of the genetic material from a virus to instruct cells in the body to produce a protein that triggers an immune response. This immune response helps the body recognize and fight the actual virus if it is encountered in the future. Unlike traditional vaccines, which often use weakened or inactivated forms of a virus, mRNA vaccines do not contain live virus particles, making them quicker and easier to produce.

      community Rosemary oil's potency as a dht blocker

      in Research/Science  65 upvotes 2 years ago
      Rosemary extract showed high inhibitory activity against DHT, similar to finasteride and dutasteride, but the conversation includes skepticism about its effectiveness in humans since the study was done on mice and rosemary oil is often considered ineffective based on personal experiences. Some suggest trying rosemary oil alongside other treatments, while others emphasize the difference between the extract used in the study and the oil.
