    TLDR New insights into cell communication in psoriasis suggest innovative drug treatments.
    This study on psoriasis used social network analysis, pattern recognition, and manifold learning to investigate single-cell communication patterns. It revealed that immune cells in psoriasis exhibit a synergistic interplay, with B-cells activation and Langerhans cells shifting to antigen presentation roles. Psoriasis cells were found to shut down many signaling pathways, affecting skin cell renewal and differentiation. The research identified numerous active cell type-specific regulons around hair follicles, highlighting new molecular features of the hair follicle cell-psoriasis axis. These insights offer innovative strategies for targeted drug treatments to improve psoriasis management.

      A user who shared progress pictures of their scalp using a microscope camera, demonstrating the difference between healthy and miniaturized hair. Various explanations for the cause of this were discussed, such as DHT build-up in scalp sebum causing an autoimmune response leading to inflammation and eventual hair loss, with some suggesting a do-it-yourself treatment involving adding ascorbic acid powder to shampoo.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      A 29-year-old woman is experiencing gradual hair thinning since age 15, suspects Androgenic Alopecia, and has tried 5% minoxidil with little success. She has purchased various hair loss treatments including minoxidil, dutasteride, finasteride, and spironolactone, but is cautious about starting them due to potential interactions with her ADHD medication.

      In this conversation, 4990 discussed various treatments for hair loss, including oral minoxidil, PRP, transplan, Jak inhibitors, Dutasteride, Finasteride, Olumiant, Ketoconazole, RU58841, microneedling, baricitinib, and CCCA. They recommended scalp biopsies in unclear cases of DUPA, twice weekly to twice daily shampooing for topical minoxidil users, and two sessions spaced one month apart with follow up at month three to determine the effectiveness of PRP treatment.
