research Low-Dose IL-2 for Treating Moderate to Severe Alopecia Areata: A 52-Week Multicenter Prospective Placebo-Controlled Study Assessing its Impact on T Regulatory Cell and NK Cell Populations
The study's results on the effectiveness of low-dose IL-2 for alopecia areata and its impact on immune cells were not provided.
research Production rates of testosterone and of dihydrotestosterone in female pattern hair loss
Women with female-pattern baldness produce more testosterone, but 5a-reductase inhibition treatment won't help.
research Regional difference in sebum production by androgen susceptibility in human facial skin
The T-zone on the face has more androgen receptors and produces more oil than the U-zone.
research Hair Steroid Profiling Reveals Racial Differences in Male Pattern Baldness between Korean and Caucasian Populations
Korean and Caucasian men with male pattern baldness have different hair steroid levels.
research A spermidine-based nutritional supplement prolongs the anagen phase of hair follicles in humans: a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study
A spermidine-based supplement may help hair grow longer by keeping it in the growth phase.
research Diagnostic accuracy measures for vertical and transverse scalp biopsies in cicatricial and non-cicatricial alopecias
Transverse scalp biopsies are more accurate for diagnosing non-cicatricial alopecia, but examining both types is best for accuracy.
research Autologous Concentrated Growth Factors Combined with Topical Minoxidil for the Treatment of Male Androgenetic Alopecia: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Combining growth factors with minoxidil improves hair growth more than minoxidil alone.
research Effective Role of Cytotoxic CD8+ T Cell in Iraqi Alopecia areata Patients
Higher CD8+ T cell levels are linked to Alopecia areata in Iraqi patients.
research Developing human fetal skin demonstrates a unique lymphocyte signature
Fetal skin has unique immune cells different from adult skin.
