research Alopecia areata: A multifactorial autoimmune condition
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease causing patchy hair loss, often with other autoimmune disorders, but its exact causes are unknown.
research Microenvironmental reprogramming of thymic epithelial cells to skin multipotent stem cells
Scientists turned rat thymus cells into stem cells that can help repair skin and hair.
research Plasmacytoid dendritic cells in alopecia areata: missing link?
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells are a key factor in causing hair loss in alopecia areata and could help differentiate it from other hair loss conditions.
research Mechanisms of tolerance and potential therapeutic interventions in Alopecia Areata
Targeting immune tolerance issues in Alopecia Areata could restore hair growth and maintain remission.
research The developing immune network in human prenatal skin
Human prenatal skin develops an immune network early on that helps with skin formation and healing without scarring.
research Hair root studies in patients suffering from primary and secondary syphilis
Syphilis patients showed abnormal hair root changes, with no difference between primary and secondary stages.
research Twenty-Nail Dystrophy Treated with Hydroxychloroquine in a Patient with Alopecia Areata
Hydroxychloroquine effectively treated twenty-nail dystrophy in a patient with alopecia areata.
research Scarring hair follicle destruction is driven by the collapse of EGFR-protected JAK-STAT1-sensitive stem cell immune privilege
A protein called EGFR protects hair follicle stem cells, and when it's disrupted, hair follicles can be damaged, but blocking certain pathways can restore hair growth.
research Serum IL-21 Level and Its Relation to Activity and Severity of Alopecia Areata
Higher IL-21 levels may help predict alopecia areata activity.
research Kawasaki disease: an update
Early treatment with immunoglobulin and aspirin reduces heart complications in children with Kawasaki disease.
research Editors' Picks
New findings suggest targeting IL-23 could treat psoriasis, skin cells can adapt to new roles, direct conversion of skin cells to blood cells may aid cell therapy, removing certain tumor cells could boost cancer immunotherapy, and melanoma may have many tumorigenic cells, not just cancer stem cells.
research Dyslipidemia in patients with androgenetic alopecia. Statins, finasteride or both?
Alopecia patients have higher heart disease risk; statins and finasteride may help.
research Commentary
Hair disease research is a growing and evolving field in dermatology, with recent significant advances.
research Cutaneous lupus erythematosus: a review
Patients with certain skin symptoms and high ANA titers should be monitored for potential systemic lupus.
research Transplantation immunology: Solid organ and bone marrow
Transplant success has improved with better immunosuppressive drugs and donor matching.
research Hair Follicle Immune Privilege Revisited: The Key to Alopecia Areata Management
Restoring hair bulb immune privilege is crucial for managing alopecia areata.
research The Contributory Roles of Th17 Lymphocyte and Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte at the Hair Bulge Region as Well as the Hair Bulb Area in the Chronic Alopecia Areata Patients
Certain immune cells contribute to severe hair loss in chronic alopecia areata, with Th17 cells possibly having a bigger impact than cytotoxic T cells.
research Diphencyprone and topical tacrolimus as two topical immunotherapeutic modalities. Are they effective in the treatment of alopecia areata among Egyptian patients? A study using CD4, CD8 and MHC II as markers
Diphencyprone is effective for treating patchy hair loss in alopecia areata, but tacrolimus is not.
research Two mouse mutations mapped to chromosome 11 with differing morphologies but similar progressive inflammatory alopecia
Two mouse mutations cause similar hair loss despite different skin changes.
research Disorders of hair
The document concludes that hair analysis is not good for assessing nutrition but can detect long-term heavy metal exposure.
research Dermatology and Pregnancy
Pregnancy can cause skin changes and affect existing skin conditions, with limited treatment options due to the need for fetal safety.
research Alopecia Areata: Evidence-Based Treatments
Alopecia areata can cause unpredictable hair loss, and treatments like corticosteroids and minoxidil may help but have varying side effects.
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 Gelatin-chondroitin-6-sulfate-hyaluronic acid scaffold seeded with vascular endothelial growth factor 165 modified hair follicle stem cells as a three-dimensional skin substitute
Modified rat stem cells on a special scaffold improved blood vessel formation and wound healing in skin substitutes.
research Hair Follicle Disruption Facilitates Pathogenesis to UVB-Induced Cutaneous Inflammation and Basal Cell Carcinoma Development in Ptch+/− Mice
Damaged hair follicles make mice more prone to skin inflammation and skin cancer after UV exposure.
research Etiopathogenesis of Alopecia Areata
Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss, influenced by genetics, environment, and possibly improved by anti-MIF therapy, with many patients experiencing regrowth within a year.
research Complete Clinical and Trichoscopic Remission of Refractory Patch Alopecia Areata with a Multi-Modal Microneedling and Vitamin D3 Protocol: A Case Report
A combined treatment with microneedling and vitamin D3 led to complete hair regrowth in a woman with stubborn patch alopecia areata.
