    GlossaryEmbryonic Stem Cells

    pluripotent cells from early embryos that can become any cell

    Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs) are pluripotent cells derived from the early-stage embryo, specifically the blastocyst, which is about 4-5 days post-fertilization. These cells have the unique ability to differentiate into any cell type in the body, making them invaluable for research in developmental biology, regenerative medicine, and potential therapeutic applications.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 6 months 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.
