GlossaryEukaryote (Eukaryotic cell)

cells with a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles

A eukaryote is an organism whose cells contain a nucleus enclosed within a membrane, along with other specialized structures called organelles, such as mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum. This distinguishes them from prokaryotes, like bacteria, which lack a membrane-bound nucleus. Eukaryotes include all plants, animals, fungi, and many microorganisms, making them essential to understanding complex life forms and biological processes.

community Scientists May Have Accidentally Found a Way to Reverse Hair Loss Without Drugs

in Research/Science 879 upvotes 5 months ago

2-deoxy-D-ribose is being explored as a hair loss treatment but is not proven effective in humans and may be costly and inconvenient. Minoxidil remains the most effective treatment.
