research Indications for a brain‐hair follicle axis: inhibition of keratinocyte proliferation and up‐regulation of keratinocyte apoptosis in telogen hair follicles by stress and substance P
Stress can cause hair loss by negatively affecting hair follicles and this effect might be reversed with specific treatments.
research Age-associated inflammation connects RAS-induced senescence to stem cell dysfunction and epidermal malignancy
Older skin has higher cancer risk due to inflammation and stem cell issues.
research Hyperplasia of Hair Follicles and Other Adnexal Structures in Cutaneous Lymphoproliferative Disorders
Hair follicle hyperplasia is common in both benign and malignant skin lymphoproliferative disorders, with a proposed new term "pseudolymphomatous adnexitis."
research Morphogenesis and maintenance of the 3D thymic medulla and prevention of nude skin phenotype require FoxN1 in pre- and post-natal K14 epithelium

The document concludes that computational models are useful for understanding immune responses and could improve cancer immunotherapy.
research Alopecia areata but not androgenetic alopecia is characterized by a restricted and oligoclonal T-cell receptor-repertoire among infiltrating lymphocytes
Alopecia areata involves specific T-cells, unlike androgenetic alopecia.
research Label Retention Identifies a Multipotent Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Like Population in the Postnatal Thymus
The postnatal thymus has cells like mesenchymal stem cells that can become different cell types and help maintain thymus structure.
research Perforins Expression by Cutaneous Gamma Delta T Cells
Gamma delta T cells in the skin help with healing and defense but can also cause autoimmune issues, and more research is needed to understand how they are activated.
research T-cell “induced-self” MHC class I/peptide complexes may enable “de novo” tolerance induction to neo-antigens occurring outside of the thymus
Hair follicles may help teach the immune system to tolerate new self-antigens, but this can sometimes cause hair loss.
research Progression of Surgical Hair Restoration Techniques
Hair restoration techniques have improved but still rely on limited donor hair, with new methods like cloning and gene therapy being explored.
research Canine cutaneous epitheliotropic T-cell lymphoma with vesiculobullous lesions resembling human bullous mycosis fungoides

research Dermatologic Adverse Events from Cancer Treatments
Cancer treatments can cause skin-related side effects that may affect patient quality of life and require changes in treatment.
research Mechanism of PPARα agonist in alopecia areata
PPARα agonists may help treat alopecia areata by reducing inflammation.
research 378 Treatment of severe alopecia areata with the oral Janus kinase inhibitor, tofacitinib: A retrospective chart review

research T cell and bacterial microbiota interaction at intestinal and skin epithelial interfaces
T cells and bacteria in the gut and skin help maintain health and protect against disease.
research 035 Expansion of bacterial phosphatidylglycerol reactive CD4+ T cells in atopic dermatitis
People with atopic dermatitis have more CD4+ T cells that respond to a certain bacterial lipid, which may play a role in the skin condition's inflammation.
research 032 A multicomponent skin-targeted COVID-19 vaccine elicits robust humoral and cellular immune responses
The new skin-targeted COVID-19 vaccine creates strong immune responses and could improve vaccination methods.
research 033 IL-15 is an unexpected guardian of hair follicle immune privilege and promotes human hair growth ex vivo
IL-15 helps protect hair follicles from immune attacks and encourages hair growth.
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 Skin Commensal Antigens: Taking the Road Less Traveled
Skin bacteria can help wound healing by activating certain immune cells.
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.
