    GlossaryMacrophage Marker

    specific molecule identifying immune cells called macrophages

    A macrophage marker is a specific molecule found on the surface of macrophages, which are a type of white blood cell involved in the immune response. These markers help scientists identify and study macrophages, as they can be used to distinguish these cells from other types of cells in the body. For example, CD68 is a common macrophage marker used in research and diagnostic procedures.

      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.
