Prostaglandin Discovery May Lead To Hair Loss Treatment For Men And Women | Bernstein Medical - Center for Hair Restoration

bernsteinmedical.com — “Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, who were investigating the biological causes of androgenetic alopecia or common genetic hair loss, have discovered that levels of a certain inhibitor protein, called Prostaglandin D2 (PD2), are elevated in bald areas on the scalp. This discovery could be an important breakthrough in developing a medical hair loss treatment that regulates the production of the protein, or one that blocks it from attaching to its receptor protein.View full resource at bernsteinmedical.com

Researcher Establishes Breakthrough Method to Help Identify Mechanisms of Disease

newswise.com — “Sanford Health Children’s Research Center researcher, Kyle Roux, PhD, has revealed a new method of research that will allow the cause of disease—particularly rare diseases—to become more easily identified. Called BioID, this method identifies the proximity and interactions between proteins in living cells providing insight into the underlying mechanisms of disease. Ultimately, this method could lead to the development of more targeted therapeutic or novel treatments for patients.View full resource at newswise.com
