    GlossaryProtein Levels

    amount of proteins present in a given sample

    Protein levels, also known as protein concentration or protein amount, refer to the quantity of proteins present in a given sample, such as blood, tissue, or hair. These levels are crucial for various biological functions, including cell structure, enzyme activity, and signaling pathways. Monitoring protein levels can provide insights into health conditions, such as nutritional status or diseases like alopecia, where abnormal protein levels might indicate underlying issues.

      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.
