research Therapeutic maintenance effect of finasteride 1 mg every other month regimen in androgenetic alopecia and study on the difference in response to finasteride treatment: A prospective cohort study
Taking finasteride every other month can still help with hair loss but may be less effective over time compared to taking it daily.
research 1315 An Integrated model of alopecia areata biomarkers highlights both Th1/Th2 upregulation, with stronger correlations between Th2 activation and disease severity
Both Th1 and Th2 immune responses are increased in alopecia areata, with Th2 response more strongly linked to how severe the disease is.
research Isolating subpopulations of human epidermal basal cells based on polyclonal serum against trypsin-resistant CSPG4 epitopes
The research found a way to identify and study skin cells with stem cell traits, revealing they behave differently in culture and questioning current stemness assessment methods.
