Ancient DNA blocks are still present in human genomes, possibly due to advantages they provide.
research Detection of Circular RNA Expression and Related Quantitative Trait Loci in the Human Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex
Researchers found that certain RNA circles in the brain are linked to disease risk, but their exact role in disease is still unknown.
research Vitamin D And Skin Diseases: A Review
Vitamin D is important for skin health and can help treat psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and vitiligo.
research Beta-Catenin-Mediated Hair Growth Induction Effect of 3,4,5-Tri-O-Caffeoylquinic Acid
3,4,5-tri-O-caffeoylquinic acid promotes hair growth by activating the β-catenin pathway.
research Polymer Conjugated Retinoids for Controlled Transdermal Delivery
A new method allows for controlled, long-lasting delivery of retinoic acid through the skin with fewer side effects.
