Did you mean Organotypic Culture?

GlossaryOrgan Culture

Organ culture, also known as organotypic culture, is a laboratory technique where whole organs or tissue sections are maintained in a controlled environment outside of the organism. This method allows researchers to study the function, development, and pathology of the organ in a setting that closely mimics its natural state, providing valuable insights into biological processes and potential treatments for diseases.

Moringa extract and oil are suggested to help with hair loss, with some users combining it with treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride. Moringa is claimed to improve hair growth and health, but evidence is mostly anecdotal.
