GlossaryHLA Class I

proteins on cell surfaces presenting peptides to immune T cells

HLA Class I, also known as Human Leukocyte Antigen Class I, refers to a group of proteins found on the surface of almost all cells in the body. These proteins play a crucial role in the immune system by presenting fragments of proteins (peptides) from inside the cell to T cells, which helps the immune system recognize and respond to infected or abnormal cells, such as those infected by viruses or transformed into cancer cells.

community Dermastamping — do you use hyaluronic acid as lubricant?

in Microneedling 3 upvotes 11 months ago

The conversation discusses using high molecular weight hyaluronic acid after microneedling to form a protective barrier, though it's considered expensive and offers marginal improvement. Users share experiences with different microneedling tools like derma rollers, dermastamps, and Dr. Pen, with some opting not to use any products on the scalp.
