Targeting CXCL10 may help treat alopecia areata.
research CD4 T cells from mice with alopecia areata express an effector like phenotype and can transfer disease
CD4 T cells can cause alopecia areata by activating CD8 T cells to attack hair follicles.
research Diverse Role of OX40 on T Cells as a Therapeutic Target for Skin Diseases
OX40-targeted therapies may help treat skin diseases by reducing inflammation and balancing immune responses.

Belatacept may be a promising treatment for alopecia areata.
research Protoporphyrin IX: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Protoporphyrin IX is useful in cancer treatment but can cause health problems if not properly regulated.
research Structure of human type II 5 alpha-reductase gene
The human type II 5α-reductase gene has a specific structure important for understanding certain medical conditions.
research Evidence for 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3-independent Transactivation by the Vitamin D Receptor
The vitamin D receptor can work without its usual activating molecule.
research Tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitor associated psoriasiform alopecia (drug-induced psoriasiform alopecia)
Some medications for inflammation can cause a condition with scalp rashes and hair loss, often linked to Crohn's disease, and may require treatment changes to prevent permanent hair loss.
research 1373 Expression of programmed cell death 1 inversely correlated with the density of CD8+ T cells infiltrating hair follicles in alopecia areata
Higher PD-1 levels are linked to fewer immune cells in hair follicles in alopecia areata.
research Author response: Arabidopsis formin 2 regulates cell-to-cell trafficking by capping and stabilizing actin filaments at plasmodesmata
Arabidopsis Formin 2 stabilizes actin filaments, affecting cell-to-cell movement and virus susceptibility.
research Fine mapping of the human AR/EDA2R locus in androgenetic alopecia
Genetic marker rs12558842 strongly linked to male hair loss.
research News in brief
Scientists found key proteins and genes that affect skin and hair health, and identified potential new treatments for hair loss, skin disorders, and wound healing.
research Androgen Receptor Actions Modify Skin Structure and Chemical Carcinogen-induced Skin Cancer Susceptibility in Mice
Androgen receptor inactivation delays skin cancer onset and reduces incidence in mice, with gender differences in susceptibility.
research Chymase Activities and Survival in Endotoxin-Induced Human Chymase Transgenic Mice
Mice with human chymase had a higher death rate when exposed to a toxin compared to normal mice.
research Reduced plakoglobin increases the risk of sodium current defects and atrial conduction abnormalities in response to androgenic anabolic steroid abuse
Reduced plakoglobin and steroid abuse increase the risk of heart rhythm issues.
research Probing androgen receptor co-factor selectivity profiles: a chemical tool to determine cross-talk between androgen receptor and β-catenin in vivo
PF-05314882 selectively activates androgen receptors without much effect on prostate and may help in prostate cancer treatment and hair loss prevention.
research Triggered release of model drug from AuNP-doped BSA nanocarriers in hair follicles using IRA radiation
Infrared light can trigger drug release from gold nanoparticle carriers in hair follicles.
research Promotion of Skin Carcinogenesis by Dimethylarsinic Acid in Keratin (K6)/ODC Transgenic Mice
Dimethylarsinic acid speeds up skin tumor growth in certain mice.
research Author response: IL18 signaling promotes homing of mature Tregs into the thymus
IL-18 signaling helps mature Tregs move into the thymus.
research Dynamic interplay between IL-1 and WNT pathways in regulating dermal adipocyte lineage cells during skin development and wound regeneration
IL-1 promotes fat cell growth in skin, while WNT inhibits it and encourages scar formation.
research Androgen Receptors and Androgen-Dependent Initiation of Protein Synthesis in the Prostate
Prostate cells have proteins that bind to specific hormones, which can increase protein production when activated by these hormones.
research Smart DNA biosensor for in vitro detection of androgen receptor mRNA
A new easy-to-use biosensor was made to detect androgen receptor mRNA, which could help diagnose related conditions quickly.
research Analysis of hidradenitis suppurativa–linked mutations in four genes and the effects of PSEN1-P242LfsX11 on cytokine and chemokine expression in macrophages
The document concludes that certain mutations may contribute to the inflammation in hidradenitis suppurativa and suggests that targeting TNFα could be a treatment strategy.
research The Membrane-Anchored BOTRYTIS-INDUCED KINASE1 Plays Distinct Roles in Arabidopsis Resistance to Necrotrophic and Biotrophic Pathogens
BIK1 gene helps plants resist some pathogens but makes them more vulnerable to others.
research Delta Opioid Receptors Presynaptically Regulate Cutaneous Mechanosensory Neuron Input to the Spinal Cord Dorsal Horn
