    TLDR Injecting platelet-derived growth factors into ovaries may improve IVF outcomes by enhancing egg quality and embryo health.
    The study explored the use of platelet-derived growth factors injected into ovarian tissue to enhance vascularity and improve outcomes in in vitro fertilization (IVF), particularly for older women facing challenges due to poor oocyte quality and chromosomal errors. The research suggested that the angiogenic properties of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) could improve follicular perfusion and oxygenation, potentially rescuing embryo ploidy by modulating oocyte competence. This approach aimed to reduce the need for donor oocytes and hormone replacement therapy by supporting intrastromal angiogenesis and improving reproductive outcomes through PRP-associated molecular signaling.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      in Microneedling  15 upvotes 4 months ago
      Stopping microneedling may result in losing hair gains, as it enhances the effectiveness of treatments like minoxidil. Combining microneedling with minoxidil and finasteride is more effective than using microneedling alone.
