Herbal Remedies for Poikiloderma-Like Cutaneous Amyloidosis

Abstract

DNA or called deoxyribonucleic acid is hereditary material present in the human body and almost in every organism. Nearly all the cells found in the human body have the same DNA and a small number of mitochondria can be found too. DNA stores information and helps in controlling the cells.
