    method to convert RNA into DNA and amplify it

    Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) is a laboratory technique used to convert RNA into DNA and then amplify specific DNA sequences. This method is crucial for studying gene expression, detecting RNA viruses, and diagnosing diseases, as it allows scientists to measure the amount of RNA in a sample by first transcribing it into complementary DNA (cDNA) and then amplifying it for analysis.

      in Treatment 1 week ago
      The conversation discusses using cyproterone temporarily to reverse hair loss, followed by finasteride to maintain regrowth. Concerns about cyproterone's side effects, such as lowering testosterone and potential health risks, are raised, with alternatives like spironolactone suggested for androgen-related issues.

      community Does finasteride/dutasteride reverse aging?

      in Chat  45 upvotes 8 months ago
      Finasteride and dutasteride can improve skin texture and reduce acne by lowering DHT but do not reverse aging. They may enhance skin and hair health for some, but can also cause side effects like dry skin and sexual dysfunction.
