Progenitor (PG) cells of the hair follicle are vital to growth and regeneration. Previous reports have highlighted their substantial reduction in from androgenetic alopecia (AGA) scalps. Since there is a limitation either investigating human PG native context or isolation forin vitro studies, no study focuses on molecular mechanisms underlying cell loss pathogenesis AGA . Here, state-of-the-art...

Pg and its chemical components possess various pharmacological and toxicological properties including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory (by inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines), anti-cancer and anti-angiog...

Introduction: Salivary biomarkers may elucidate orodental inflammatory processes. Nitric oxide (NO) may help us to diagnose such changes . Methods: In this case-control study, all referral patients diagnosed with 130% sites were enrolled as generalized mild to moderate periodontitis group (PG). All PG and healthy control group (CG)’ individuals underwent scaling and root planning (SRP)...
