research SIRT1 downregulation provokes immune-inflammatory responses in hair follicle outer root sheath cells and may contribute to development of alopecia areata
Reduced SIRT1 in hair cells may cause alopecia areata by triggering immune responses.
research Application and Challenges of Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Therapy in Systemic Rheumatic Diseases and Autoimmune Disorders
CAR-T cell therapy shows promise for treating autoimmune disorders but faces challenges like complex manufacturing and limited tissue penetration.
research Cross-species comparative spatial transcriptomics of hair follicle-T cell interactions identifies conserved drivers of cutaneous lupus erythematosus skin disease and associated hair loss
This study investigates the interactions between T cells and hair follicles in cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) across mice, dogs, and humans, focusing on the role of these interactions in skin disease and hair loss. The research identifies a 35% overlap in gene expression when autoreactive T cells are transferred in mice, with CD8 T cells contributing to extracellular matrix reorganization. Key findings include the identification of CXCR3 ligands and IFN response genes in hair follicles, conserved across species, and the alleviation of skin disease in mice through CXCR3 knockout on T cells. B cell depletion also reduces skin disease, aligning with human lupus therapies. The study highlights CFD and S100A8/9 as potential targets for future trials, emphasizing the role of CXCR3+ T cells and B cells in CLE lesional skin and their contribution to hair loss and inflammation.

Hair fibers can effectively cover thinning hair when used with minoxidil and hairspray but require daily application and can be inconvenient in certain conditions. Some users prefer treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, microneedling, or wigs due to the maintenance and limitations of hair fibers.
community FINASTRIDE and switch to DUTASTRIDE, my experience
The user shared their experience with Finasteride and Dutasteride for hair loss. They initially had success with Finasteride but switched to Dutasteride after experiencing shedding, which continued, and are now considering a hair transplant.
