    GlossarySebocyte Proliferation

    increase in oil-producing skin cells' multiplication

    Sebocyte proliferation refers to the process by which sebocytes, the cells that make up the sebaceous glands in the skin, multiply and increase in number. These glands produce sebum, an oily substance that helps keep the skin moisturized. An increase in sebocyte proliferation can lead to conditions like acne due to excess sebum production.

      Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

      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.
