    occur when viruses invade and multiply within cells

    Viral infections, also known as viral diseases, occur when viruses invade and multiply within the body's cells, leading to illness. These infections can range from mild, like the common cold, to severe, such as HIV/AIDS or COVID-19, and are typically spread through direct contact, airborne transmission, or contaminated surfaces.

      community Rosemary oil's potency as a dht blocker

      in Research/Science  65 upvotes 1 year 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.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 10 months ago
      Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
