Did you mean UVB-induced DNA damage?

GlossaryUVB-induced DNA damage

harm to DNA from ultraviolet B radiation causing mutations

UVB-induced DNA damage refers to the harm caused to the DNA in our cells by ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation from the sun. This type of radiation can cause mutations by creating abnormal bonds between DNA bases, such as thymine dimers, which can lead to skin aging, sunburn, and increase the risk of skin cancer.

community The Real Cause Of Androgenetic Alopecia

in Research/Science 677 upvotes 1 year ago

Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.

community Why do we have head hair in first place if we evolved to start losing it in some cases as soon as puberty hits

in Chat 138 upvotes 9 months ago

Hair loss is influenced by genetics and sensitivity to hormones like DHT. Treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used, and baldness persists as it doesn't affect reproductive success.
