    GlossaryTissue Sectioning (Histological Sectioning)

    process of cutting thin tissue slices for microscopic examination

    Tissue sectioning, also known as microtomy, is the process of cutting thin slices of biological tissue for examination under a microscope. This technique is crucial for studying the detailed structure of tissues, diagnosing diseases, and conducting research. The thin sections, typically only a few micrometers thick, allow for the visualization of cellular and subcellular components when stained and viewed under a microscope.

      community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

      in Research  692 upvotes 1 month 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.
