research Abstracts from the Symposium on the Pathophysiology of Hair Growth Organized by the Institute of Dermatology at the Royal Society of Medicine, 29 October 1987
The symposium concluded that hair growth involves complex processes, including the hair follicle life cycle, the role of the dermal papilla, hair strength, pigmentation, and the impact of diseases and treatments like minoxidil on hair and skin.
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 Deciphering the Complex Immunopathogenesis of Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata is caused by immune attacks on hair follicles, affecting hair growth and quality of life.
research A recently characterized, underdiagnosed cause of female androgenetic alopecia and polycystic ovarian syndrome: non-classical 21 hydroxylase deficiency
Non-classical 21 hydroxylase deficiency is an underdiagnosed cause of female hair loss and polycystic ovarian syndrome.
research MHC Class I-Like MILL Molecules Are β2-Microglobulin-Associated, GPI-Anchored Glycoproteins That Do Not Require TAP for Cell Surface Expression
MILL molecules are unique immune proteins in mice that don't need TAP to appear on cell surfaces.
research Exploring the Drug Repurposing Versatility of Valproic Acid as a Multifunctional Regulator of Innate and Adaptive Immune Cells
Valproic Acid could potentially be used to treat immune-related conditions due to its ability to modify immune cell functions.
research Skin: Basic Structure and Function
The skin is a complex barrier that protects the body, regulates temperature, and helps with immune responses.
research INVESTIGATING THE MECHANISMS UNDERLYING THE PATHOGENESIS OF ALOPECIA AREATA
Alopecia areata may be treated by using EGCG to balance immune cells and reduce inflammation.
research The genetically programmed hair growth cycle and alopecia: what is there to know?
The document concludes that hair loss is complex, affects many people, has limited treatments, and requires more research on its causes and psychological impact.
research Structure and Function of the Skin
The document concludes that the skin is a complex organ providing protection, sensation, and healing, with challenges in treating conditions like itchiness.
research Regulation of the human hair cycle
The conclusion is that effectively treating hair disorders is difficult due to the complex factors affecting hair growth and more research is needed to improve treatments.
research Ri> hodococcus equii>: Clinical Manifestations, Virulence, and Immunity

research Canine Epidermal Neural Crest Stem Cells: Characterization and Potential as Therapy Candidate for a Large Animal Model of Spinal Cord Injury
Canine epidermal neural crest stem cells could be a promising treatment for spinal cord injuries in dogs.
research Maintenance of Hair Follicle Immune Privilege Is Linked to Prevention of NK Cell Attack
Hair follicles prevent NK cell attacks to avoid hair loss.
research Immunology of the Human Nail Apparatus: The Nail Matrix Is a Site of Relative Immune Privilege
The nail matrix has a reduced immune response, protecting it from autoimmunity.
research The role of somatostatin expression in hair follicle immune privilege
Somatostatin helps hair follicles suppress immune responses, which might aid in treating certain hair loss conditions.
research Can the Hair Follicle Become a Model for Studying Selected Aspects of Human Ocular Immune Privilege?
Hair follicles could help develop eye treatments by studying immune responses.
research Alopecia Areata in C3H/HeJ Mice Involves Leukocyte-mediated Root Sheath Disruption in Advance of Overt Hair Loss
Hair loss in mice starts with immune cells damaging hair roots before it becomes visible.
research INTERFERONS IN DERMATOLOGY
Interferons are effective for some skin conditions and cancers, but can have side effects and need more research for optimal use.
