    GlossaryTissue Remodeling (Tissue Restructuring)

    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.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 1 year 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.

      DHT is important for sexual function and mood, but finasteride and dutasteride can reduce DHT, causing side effects like reduced libido and erectile dysfunction. These treatments are effective for hair loss, but their impact on DHT leads to debate.
