    GlossaryTumorigenesis (Tumor Formation)

    process of normal cells transforming into cancerous tumors

    Tumorigenesis, also known as tumor formation, is the process by which normal cells transform into cancer cells and begin to grow uncontrollably, forming a mass or tumor. This process involves a series of genetic mutations and changes in cellular behavior that allow the cells to evade normal growth controls, resist cell death, and often gain the ability to invade surrounding tissues and spread to other parts of the body.

      in Research/Science  81 upvotes 1 year ago
      The conversation is about the role of testosterone in hair loss and the effectiveness of different treatments. The conclusion is that DHT is the main culprit for hair loss, and finasteride has been proven to work long-term in maintaining and regrowing hair. Testosterone may have a minor effect, but it is not the primary cause of hair loss.
