    TLDR Electron microscopy helps understand skin structure and diseases.
    The document presented proceedings from a joint meeting focused on the application of electron microscopy in dermatology, covering both basic and clinical research. It included studies on various dermatological topics such as the visualization of bFGF molecules on skin cells, the microvascular architecture of hair follicles, and the structural components of the dermo-epidermal junction. Research also explored the regulation of hemidesmosomes, the role of E-cadherin in keratinocytes, and the ultrastructural changes in skin conditions and tumors. Additionally, the document discussed the involvement of Langerhans' cells in HIV infection and the differentiation of dendritic cells in lupus erythematosus, highlighting the diverse applications of electron microscopy in understanding skin biology and pathology.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 1 year ago
      Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.

      Procapil is marketed as a natural hair loss treatment but lacks strong evidence and is industry-biased. Minoxidil and Finasteride are the only FDA-approved treatments for androgenetic alopecia.

      DHT may inhibit hair growth by affecting mitochondrial function, leading to hair follicle miniaturization. Treatments like minoxidil and PP405 may promote hair growth by altering metabolic pathways, potentially counteracting DHT's effects.
