    proteins crucial for cell adhesion and tissue integrity

    Catenins are a family of proteins that play a crucial role in cell adhesion, which is the process that helps cells stick together to form tissues. They are involved in linking the cell membrane to the cytoskeleton, thereby maintaining the structural integrity of tissues and facilitating communication between cells.

      community Hair theory Scar tissue and Verteporfin

      in Chat  25 upvotes 7 months ago
      A user suggests that deeper microneedling with Verteporfin injections might help regrow hair in areas with scar tissue, alongside a DHT blocker. Another user explains that hair loss might be due to reduced Wnt/β-Catenin signaling and suggests that treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and microneedling could potentially reverse it.
