    GlossaryInflammatory Pathways

    molecular signals triggering the body's response to harmful stimuli

    Inflammatory pathways, also known as inflammatory signaling pathways, are a series of molecular signals and reactions that the body uses to respond to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants. These pathways involve various cells and proteins, including cytokines and chemokines, which work together to initiate and regulate inflammation, ultimately aiming to protect and heal the body. Understanding these pathways is crucial for developing treatments for conditions like alopecia, where inflammation can play a significant role in hair loss.

      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.
