    laboratory technique to detect specific proteins in samples

    Western blot, also known as protein immunoblot, is a laboratory technique used to detect specific proteins in a sample. It involves separating proteins by gel electrophoresis, transferring them to a membrane, and then using antibodies to identify the target protein. This method is widely used in research and diagnostics to study protein expression and function.

      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.
