*The formation of ''dhatu'' involves the transformation of ''rasa'' into ''rakta, rakta'' into ''mamsa'', etc., in the presence of respective ''dhatvagni'' in a similar manner as milk gets converted into curd, curds into butter and butter into ghee. According to Acharya Harita, within seven days ''rasa'' gets transformed into ''shukra''. Even though this theory appears to be hypothetical, recent modern research has shown that this kind of transformation is possible. A team of Japanese and American scientists has managed to convert human skin cells into formed embryos by bathing them in weak citric acid for a duration of 30 minutes. Researchers at Stanford University transformed skin fibroblast cells from mice into working neurons by inserting genes that encode transcription factors. Researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have successfully isolated stem cells from human skin, expanded them in the laboratory and coaxed them into becoming fat, muscle and bone cells . More recently, scientists have successfully made immature sperm cells from human bone marrow samples. Therefore, the formation of ''shukra'' from ''majja'' is proved by these scientific evidence .

*According to ''Kedari Kulya Nyaya'' innumerable microvascular channels transport nourishment to their respective sites in ''dhatus'' (tissues) in the body. The cells and tissues are bathed with nutrient plasma. But mere tissue perfusion is not enough to complete the process of nourishment. It needs the complementary play of two subsequent ''nyayas''. (Ch. Su 28/4), (Ch Chi 15/36)

*Per modern science, vesicles transport nutrients to the target organs and get controlled by a set of genes (discovered by Randy Schekman). Further, James Rothman found out that protein machinery allows vesicles to fuse with their targets and permits transfer of nutrients to their target tissue. Thomas Sudhof revealed how signals instruct vesicles to release their cargo with precision. Through their discoveries, Rothman, Schekman and Sudhof have revealed the exquisitely precise control system for the transport and delivery of cellular cargo. Disturbances in this system have deleterious effects and contribute to conditions such as neurological diseases, diabetes, and immunological disorders.
