Deoxyribose is a 5-carbon sugar that forms part of the sugar-phosphate backbone in DNA, the genetic code of living organisms. It can be extracted from DNA through hydrolysis, ...

The deoxyribose gel was so effective, the team found it worked just as well as minoxidil, a popular topical treatment for hair loss, the scientists found.
