research Local heroes or villains: tissue-resident memory T cells in human health and disease
Tissue-resident memory T cells can protect against infections and cancer but may also contribute to autoimmune diseases.
research Alopecia areata: An update
The document concludes that alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease without a definitive cure, but treatments like corticosteroids are commonly used.
research Dissecting the microenvironment around biosynthetic scaffolds in murine skin wound healing
Different scaffold patterns improve wound healing and immune response in mouse skin, with aligned patterns being particularly effective.
research T helper 17 cell/regulatory T-cell imbalance in hidradenitis suppurativa/acne inversa: the link to hair follicle dissection, obesity, smoking and autoimmune comorbidities
An imbalance between certain immune cells is linked to a chronic skin condition and may be influenced by obesity, smoking, and autoimmune issues.
research The role of macrophages in skin homeostasis
Macrophages are vital for skin healing, hair growth, salt balance, and cancer defense.
research Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells from Human Hair Follicle Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Human hair follicle cells can be turned into stem cells similar to embryonic stem cells.
research Transcriptional profiling in alopecia areata defines immune and cell cycle control related genes within disease-specific signatures
The study found that immune responses disrupt hair growth cycles, causing hair loss in alopecia areata.
research The role of lymphocytes in the development and treatment of alopecia areata
Lymphocytes, especially CD8+ T cells, play a key role in causing alopecia areata, and targeting them may lead to new treatments.
research Targeting lymphoid-derived IL-17 signaling to delay skin aging
Blocking IL-17 signaling may reduce skin inflammation and delay aging.
research The C3H/HeJ mouse and DEBR rat models for alopecia areata: review of preclinical drug screening approaches and results
Both mouse and rat models are effective for testing alopecia areata treatments.
research Graft-versus-host disease
Graft-versus-host disease is a complication where donor immune cells attack the recipient's body, often affecting the skin, liver, and gastrointestinal tract.
research Choreographing Immunity in the Skin Epithelial Barrier
The document concludes that the skin's immune system is complex, involving interactions with hair follicles, nerves, and microbes, and can protect or cause disease, offering targets for new treatments.
research Skin Manifestations in Primary Immunodeficient Children
Nearly half of children with primary immunodeficiency disorders showed skin problems, often as the first sign of their condition.
research A neuroendocrinological perspective on human hair follicle pigmentation
Brain hormones significantly affect hair color and could potentially be used to prevent or reverse grey hair.
research DKK1 Mediated Inhibition of Wnt Signaling in Postnatal Mice Leads to Loss of TEC Progenitors and Thymic Degeneration
Blocking Wnt signaling in young mice causes thymus shrinkage and cell loss, but recovery is possible when the block is removed.
research 25 Years of Epidermal Stem Cell Research
Research on epidermal stem cells has advanced significantly, showing promise for improved clinical therapies.
research Heterozygous FOXN1 Variants Cause Low TRECs and Severe T Cell Lymphopenia, Revealing a Crucial Role of FOXN1 in Supporting Early Thymopoiesis
FOXN1 gene variants cause low T cells and immune issues from birth.
research Profiling the Response of Human Hair Follicles to Ultraviolet Radiation
UVB radiation harms hair growth and health, causing cell death and other changes in human hair follicles.
research Hair-Growth Potential of Ginseng and Its Major Metabolites: A Review on Its Molecular Mechanisms
Ginseng and its compounds may help hair growth and prevent hair loss, but more human trials are needed to confirm this.
research Type 1 interferon signature in the scalp lesions of alopecia areata
Alopecia areata shows a unique type 1 interferon signature, suggesting potential treatment by targeting this pathway.
research Efficacy of tofacitinib in treatment of alopecia universalis in two patients
Tofacitinib was effective in treating hair loss in two patients with alopecia universalis.
research Advances in the management of alopecia areata
New treatments for severe hair loss often fail, but some patients see hair regrowth with specific therapies, and treatment should be tailored to the individual's situation.
research The antiandrogen enzalutamide downregulates TMPRSS2 and reduces cellular entry of SARS-CoV-2 in human lung cells
The drug enzalutamide may reduce the ability of the virus causing COVID-19 to enter lung cells.
research Treatment of alopecia universalis with topical Janus kinase inhibitors – a double blind, placebo, and active controlled pilot study
Topical JAK inhibitors may help treat alopecia universalis by promoting hair regrowth.
research Neuroimmunoregulation of Androgens in the Adrenal Gland and the Skin
Cytokines and neuropeptides are key in controlling androgen levels, affecting skin and hair conditions.
research Overexpression of Bcl-2 Protects from Ultraviolet B-Induced Apoptosis but Promotes Hair Follicle Regression and Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Bcl-2 overexpression protects against UVB damage but worsens hair loss from chemotherapy.
research Cicatricial (Scarring) Alopecias
Scarring alopecias are complex hair loss disorders that require early treatment to prevent permanent hair loss.
