Certain inflammatory factors may increase or decrease the risk of developing PCOS.
research 17β-estradiol Inhibits the Production of RANTES in Human Keratinocytes
17β-estradiol can reduce inflammation in the skin.
research Non-pigmentary actions of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone--lessons from the cutaneous melanocortin system.
Alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone helps manage skin inflammation and protect against UV damage.
research FC053 Pro-inflammatory cytokine cascade in human plucked hair
Anti-IL-1 treatments might help with certain types of hair loss in people with high inflammation.
research Regulatory T cell dysfunction and immunotherapeutic breakthroughs in type 1 diabetes
Next-generation Treg therapies could help achieve lasting immune tolerance in type 1 diabetes.
research Ovarian leukocyte distribution and cytokine/chemokine mRNA expression in follicular fluid cells in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Women with PCOS have fewer activated T cells in their ovarian follicles, which might affect fertility.
research Vasoactive intestinal peptide, whose receptor-mediated signalling may be defective in alopecia areata, provides protection from hair follicle immune privilege collapse
A substance called VIP might protect hair follicles from being attacked by the immune system, and problems with VIP signaling could lead to hair loss in alopecia areata.
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 Human epithelial stem cell survival within their niche requires “tonic” cannabinoid receptor 1‐signalling—Lessons from the hair follicle
Cannabinoid receptor-1 signaling is essential for the survival and growth of human hair follicle stem cells.
research Stress-induced chemokine production by hair follicles recruits dendritic cells to sites of minor trauma
Hair follicles help attract immune cells to minor skin injuries.
research Androgen receptor–mediated inhibition of cutaneous wound healing
Lowering testosterone speeds up wound healing in male mice.
research Therapeutic anti-inflammatory potential of formyl-peptide receptor agonists
Formyl-peptide receptor agonists could be new anti-inflammatory drugs.
research Evaluation of Serum Toll-Like Receptor 4, Interferon Gamma, and Interleukin-17 Levels in Iraqi Patients with Alopecia Areata
Patients with alopecia areata have higher levels of certain immune markers, suggesting new treatment targets.
research Altered expression of intracellular Toll-like receptors in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with alopecia areata
Increased Toll-like receptors in blood cells may contribute to alopecia areata and could be a target for new treatments.
research Toll-like Receptor 3 Agonist, Polyinosinic-polycytidylic Acid, Upregulates Carbonic Anhydrase II in Human Keratinocytes
A substance called poly(I:C) increases a protein called carbonic anhydrase II in skin cells, which might help with skin defense and healing.
research TO IDENTIFY THE EXPRESSION OF INTRACELLULAR TOLL-LIKE RECEPTORS (TLRS) IN PERIPHERAL BLOOD MONONUCLEAR CELLS OF ALOPECIA AREATA
Alopecia areata patients have higher levels of certain immune receptors, suggesting new treatment possibilities.
research Classification and management of skin, hair, nail and mucosal side-effects of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors
EGFR inhibitors often cause skin problems and other side effects, but these are usually reversible and can be managed to keep patients comfortable.
research Lichen Planopilaris Treated With a Peroxisome Proliferator–Activated Receptor γ Agonist
A specific drug can help treat Lichen Planopilaris, a condition causing permanent hair loss.
research Neutralization of IL-8 Prevents the Induction of Dermatologic Adverse Events Associated with the Inhibition of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor
Blocking IL-8 can reduce skin rashes from cancer treatment.
research Perifollicular Xanthomas Associated with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitor Therapy
EGFR inhibitors can cause yellowish skin eruptions.
research Anti-Zika Activity of a Library of Synthetic Carbohydrate Receptors
Some synthetic carbohydrate receptors, especially compounds 3 and 15, show strong potential for treating Zika virus.
research Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitor–Induced Symmetrical Drug-Related Intertriginous and Flexural Exanthema: Should You Discontinue the Offending Agent?
You might not need to stop cancer treatment if you get a rare skin reaction from EGFR inhibitors, as skin treatments can help manage it.
research Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) and PPAR agonists: the ‘future’ in dermatology therapeutics?
PPAR agonists show promise for skin conditions but need more research before being a main treatment.
