Did you mean Sebocyte Differentiation?

GlossarySebocyte Differentiation

process where gland cells mature to produce skin oil

Sebocyte differentiation is the process by which immature cells in the sebaceous glands mature into sebocytes, the cells responsible for producing and secreting sebum, an oily substance that lubricates and protects the skin and hair. This process is crucial for maintaining healthy skin and hair, and disruptions in sebocyte differentiation can lead to skin conditions like acne or seborrheic dermatitis.

community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

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.
