5 / 1000+ resultsresearch HuR ablation destabilizes Foxp3 mRNA and impairs regulatory T cell function, contributing to an autoimmune phenotype
HuR is essential for Treg function and preventing autoimmunity.
research Genotype-Phenotype Delineation of Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathy, Candidiasis, and Ectodermal Dystrophy in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report
A new AIRE gene mutation causes rare autoimmune symptoms in a Lebanese boy.
research 127 Quality of life in patients with connective tissue diseases: results from the Lupus Extended Autoimmune Phenotype (LEAP) study
Many lupus patients experience hair loss, which is linked to anxiety and other skin issues.
research The alopecia areata phenotype is induced by the water avoidance stress test in cchcr1-deficient mice
Stress can cause a type of hair loss in mice lacking the CCHCR1 gene.
research Eosinophilia versus atopy as a predictor of severe phenotypes in alopecia areata
Both atopy and eosinophilia are linked to more severe hair loss in people with alopecia areata.

Hair loss's social impact, focusing on Will Smith defending Jada Pinkett Smith's alopecia. The conversation highlights double standards between men and women experiencing hair loss and emphasizes empathy.
community One+ year 1mg Fin, Ketoconazole, and 3.75 Oral Min. I have DUPA. Switched from Topical to Oral Min.
A user's experience with hair loss treatments such as finasteride, ketoconazole, and oral minoxidil that have not yielded any results; other users suggest shaving the head or getting a wig, while others offer additional advice such as seeing a dermatologist, checking thyroid levels, switching to dutasteride and adding needling, and trying stemoxydine.
community Why do we have head hair in first place if we evolved to start losing it in some cases as soon as puberty hits
Hair loss is influenced by genetics and sensitivity to hormones like DHT. Treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used, and baldness persists as it doesn't affect reproductive success.
community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied
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.
community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia
Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
