The conclusion is that individual differences in COVID-19 severity are influenced by factors like age, sex, race, and genetics, which are important for personalized medicine.
research Alopecia Areata
Alopecia Areata has no guaranteed treatment for hair regrowth, but options like corticosteroids and minoxidil are used, with future research focusing on genetic and immune therapies.
research Alopecia areata update
Despite progress in treatment, the exact cause of Alopecia areata is still unknown.
research Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I Chain-Related Gene A Polymorphisms and Extended Haplotypes Are Associated with Familial Alopecia Areata
Certain genetic markers, especially the MICA gene, are linked to alopecia areata.
research Genetic Basis of Alopecia Areata
More research is needed to understand the genetic causes of Alopecia areata to develop better treatments.
research The spectrum of hair loss in patients with mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome
Some patients with mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome experience hair loss, which may be similar to alopecia areata or linked to skin lesions, possibly due to abnormal T cells, and bexarotene can help treat it.
research Human Leukocyte Antigen Class II Alleles Are Associated with Risk of Alopecia Areata
Certain HLA class II alleles increase or decrease the risk of alopecia areata.
research Genetic association of HLA‐DQB1 and HLA‐DRB1 polymorphisms with alopecia areata in the Italian population
The DQB1*03 allele is linked to higher alopecia areata risk in Italians.
research FOXN1 deficient nude severe combined immunodeficiency
FOXN1 gene mutations cause a rare, severe immune disease treatable with cell or tissue transplants.
research Organ Specificity in Autoimmune Diseases: Thyroid and Islet Autoimmunity in Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata is linked to thyroid autoimmunity but not type 1 diabetes.
research Human FOXN1-Deficiency Is Associated with αβ Double-Negative and FoxP3+ T-Cell Expansions That Are Distinctly Modulated upon Thymic Transplantation
Thymic transplantation normalized some T-cells but not others, maintaining immune function.
research Alopecia areata patients show deficiency of FOXP3+CD39+ T regulatory cells and clonotypic restriction of Treg TCRβ-chain, which highlights the immunopathological aspect of the disease
Patients with Alopecia areata have fewer specific immune cells that normally regulate the immune system, which may contribute to the condition.
research Alopecia Areata
The document concludes that ongoing research using animal models is crucial for better understanding and treating Alopecia Areata.
research Pemphigus vulgaris in only one of two monozygotic twins
Genetic factors alone might not cause pemphigus vulgaris; other factors like birth complications and puberty may trigger it.
research hMSCs possess the potential to differentiate into DP cellsin vivoandin vitro
Human mesenchymal stem cells can become dermal papilla cells, aiding hair growth.
research The aetiology and pathogenesis of alopecia areata
The cause of alopecia areata is likely a mix of genetics, immune system issues, and environmental factors, with more research needed to understand it fully.
research A comparative analysis of immune privilege in pregnancy and cancer in the context of checkpoint blockade immunotherapy
The document concludes that pregnancy and cancer share immune evasion tactics, but more research is needed before using checkpoint blockade immunotherapy in pregnant cancer patients to avoid harm to the placenta.
research The genetics of alopecia areata
Alopecia areata has a complex genetic basis that was not fully understood as of 2001.
research Alopecia Areata: Clinical Perspective and an Insight into Pathogenesis
Alopecia areata causes hair loss due to an immune attack on hair follicles, influenced by genetics and environment.
research RETRACTED: Causal role of immune cells in alopecia areata: A two‐sample Mendelian randomization study
The study suggested certain immune cells might cause alopecia areata, but it was retracted.
research Lepromatous Leprosy in a Renal Transplant Recipient
A kidney transplant patient developed leprosy, likely due to immunosuppression and genetic factors, and improved with treatment.
research Linear immunoglobulin A/immunoglobulin G bullous dermatosis associated with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease
A man had two rare autoimmune diseases that might be connected.
research [Selective changes in lymphocytic differentiation antigens in the peripheral blood of patients with alopecia areata treated with oral zinc].
Zinc may help treat alopecia areata by boosting certain immune cells.
research Exacerbation of alopecia areata during pegylated interferon alpha-2b and ribavirin therapy, possibly due to the collapse of hair follicle immune privilege
A woman's hair loss worsened after starting hepatitis C treatment due to immune changes in her hair follicles.
research Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Disease: A Narrative Review
Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease affects vision and skin, mainly in people with darker skin, and is treated with steroids and immunosuppressants.
research Polymorphism of genes in patients with new coronavirus infection COVID-19
Genetic differences affect COVID-19 severity and treatment effectiveness.
research Analysis of DNA in hair fibers.
Small amounts of DNA can be found in the hair shaft, especially near the root, but it decreases with hair treatments and washing.
research Pathophysiology of Alopecia Areata in the Pediatric Patient
Alopecia areata in children is caused by the immune system attacking hair follicles due to genetic factors.
