On the other side, Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 level was the lowest in alopecia comparing with other zones. Other examined proteins did not show changes. CONCLUSIONS:The observed differences in these signaling molecules' expression could contribute for both achieving therapeutic goals for hair loss conditions and shading more lights on the androgenetic alopecia etiology but also highlight the need to investigate adipose derived stem cells secretory proteome in all other conditions linked to hair loss.

BACKGROUND: Demand for lip filler injection continues to increase. Despite the current literature's acknowledgement of the role both venous and arterial vasculature play in minor and major side effects, research addressing the venous vasculature of the lower one-third of the face is scarce. The purpose of our study was to create a venous map demonstrating areas of venous pooling that one should avoid when injecting, thus improving the safety and overall aesthetic appearance of the lips postaugmentation.
