    specially bred mice used for scientific research and experiments

    Laboratory mice, also known as lab mice or research mice, are specially bred mice used in scientific research to study genetics, diseases, and the effects of various treatments. They are valuable because of their genetic similarity to humans, their short reproductive cycles, and the ability to control their environment and genetics, making them ideal for controlled experiments.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 8 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.
