    TLDR NFIC helps rat dental cells grow and turn into bone-like cells.
    The study from August 20, 2019, demonstrated that Nuclear Factor I-C (NFIC) plays a significant role in the vitality and osteogenic/cementogenic differentiation of rat dental follicle cells (DFCs). The research showed that overexpression of NFIC in DFCs led to increased cell proliferation, higher alkaline phosphatase activity, and elevated mRNA levels of osteogenic markers, while NFIC silencing had the opposite effects, increasing apoptosis and downregulating osteogenic markers. These findings indicate that NFIC could be a target for enhancing periodontal tissue regeneration. The study included quantitative analyses with sample sizes ranging from n=3 to n=5 for various experiments, providing moderate evidence for the conclusions. The research was funded by the Guangdong Science and Technology Foundation of China.

      community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

      in Research  692 upvotes 3 months ago
      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.
