GlossaryPeroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors

regulate gene expression related to metabolism and inflammation

Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors (PPARs) are a group of nuclear receptor proteins that function as transcription factors regulating the expression of genes. They play crucial roles in the metabolism of fats and sugars, inflammation, and cell differentiation, making them significant in conditions like diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases.

community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

in Research 692 upvotes 3 months 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.
