research Exploring Mast Cell–CD8 T Cell Interactions in Inflammatory Skin Diseases

6 citations , January 2023 in “International journal of molecular sciences”

This review discusses the bidirectional interactions between human mast cells and CD8 T cells in the skin, particularly in the context of disorders like psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and vitiligo, and reports no new findings.

research Primary Cicatricial Alopecias Are Characterized by Dysregulation of Shared Gene Expression Pathways

19 citations , July 2022 in “PNAS Nexus”

This study identified a shared gene signature in scarring alopecia subtypes, with increased mast cell presence, suggesting similar treatment approaches may be effective across these hair loss disorders.

research Gene Expression Profiling Suggests Severe, Extensive Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia May Be Both Clinically and Biologically Distinct From Limited Disease Subtypes

11 citations , January 2022 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This study suggests that patients with severe, extensive central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia may exhibit a distinct gene expression pattern in the lesional scalp, highlighting potential targets for future research on disease severity and therapies.

Infiltration of Mast Cells in Scalp Biopsies of Patients with Alopecia Areata or Androgenic Alopecia Versus Healthy Individuals: A Case-Control Study

research Infiltration of Mast Cells in Scalp Biopsies of Patients with Alopecia Areata or Androgenic Alopecia Versus Healthy Individuals: A Case-Control Study

December 2020 in “Galen Medical Journal”

This study found that patients with alopecia areata and androgenic alopecia had significantly increased mast cell infiltration, which was influenced by age and disease severity, especially in alopecia areata.

research Infiltration of Mast Cells in Scalp Biopsies of Patients with Alopecia Areata or Androgenic Alopecia Versus Healthy Individuals: A Case-Control Study

December 2020 in “Galen Medical Journal”

This study observed that patients with alopecia areata and androgenic alopecia have significantly more perifollicular and perivascular mast cells compared to healthy individuals, particularly in those over 40 and with greater disease severity.

research Variant PADI3 in Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia

95 citations , February 2019 in “The New England Journal of Medicine”

This article discusses the potential genetic basis of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in women of African ancestry but does not provide new research results.

research Presence of Mast Cells and Mast Cell Degranulation in Scalp Biopsies of Telogen Effluvium

9 citations , January 2017 in “International Journal of Trichology”

This study suggests that mast cells may play a role in stress-related hair loss associated with telogen effluvium.

research Mast Cells and Scarring Alopecia: Is There a Clear Pathophysiological Relationship?

2 citations , November 2015 in “Actas Dermo-Sifiliográficas”

The document suggests a possible link between mast cells and scarring alopecia, recommending more research for potential treatments.

research Pathologic Diagnosis of Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia on Horizontal Sections

29 citations , September 2014 in “American Journal of Dermatopathology”

This study found that horizontal sections of scalp biopsies in patients with Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia often reveal follicular miniaturization, inflammation, and scarring, which can guide personalized treatment.

research Medical and Environmental Risk Factors for the Development of Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia

88 citations , April 2011 in “Archives of Dermatology”

This study found a high prevalence of central hair loss among African American women and associated it with diabetes mellitus type 2, bacterial scalp infections, and hairstyles causing traction.

9 citations , September 2010 in “Dermatologic therapy”

This study found that combined therapy with cetirizine and topical steroids stabilized inflammation in most patients with lichen planus pilaris, though one patient experienced cardiac arrhythmia.

research Central Scalp Alopecia Photographic Scale in African American Women

46 citations , July 2008 in “Dermatologic Therapy”

This study developed and evaluated a photographic scale to assess CCCA pattern and severity in African American women, finding it reproducible when used by investigators and participants.

research An Atlas of Hair Pathology with Clinical Correlations

1 citations , September 2003 in “Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine”

The book is a detailed guide on hair and scalp diseases, useful for dermatopathologists.
