    GlossaryTissue Remodeling

    process of altering tissue structure and function in response to stimuli

    Tissue remodeling is the process by which the structure and function of tissues are altered in response to various stimuli, such as injury, disease, or normal growth. This involves the breakdown of old or damaged tissue and the formation of new tissue, often mediated by cells like fibroblasts and enzymes like matrix metalloproteinases. This process is crucial for wound healing, organ development, and maintaining tissue homeostasis.

      in Research  692 upvotes 4 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.
