5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Psychological Stress-Induced Pathogenesis of Alopecia Areata: Autoimmune and Apoptotic Pathways
Stress may contribute to hair loss in alopecia areata by affecting immune responses and cell death in hair follicles.
research Traversing the Pathway and Exploring the Link—A Clinical and Epidemiological Study in Alopecia Areata and Its Association with Autoimmune Diseases
Alopecia areata is significantly linked to thyroid issues and may worsen with diabetes severity.
research Case Series: Gene Expression Analysis in Canine Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada/Uveodermatologic Syndrome and Vitiligo Reveals Conserved Immunopathogenesis Pathways Between Dog and Human Autoimmune Pigmentary Disorders

research Which is the ideal JAK inhibitor for alopecia areata – Baricitinib, tofacitinib, ritlecitinib or ifidancitinib - Revisiting the immunomechanisms of the JAK pathway
No single ideal JAK inhibitor for alopecia areata has been determined; JAK3 inhibitors may be promising with fewer side effects.

5 / 297 resultscommunity Autoimmune issue?
The user experienced severe hair loss, itchy scalp, and skin issues after trying no-shampoo, and wonders if it's male pattern baldness or an immune issue. They have a history of eczema, dermatitis, and jock itch, and have tried various treatments like coconut oil, peppermint, pumpkin seed, and onion.
community Scalp tension and thickness of the galea aponeurotica, inflammation and potential treatment pathways
Scalp tension potentially affecting hair loss, and potential treatments for male pattern baldness such as Minoxidil, Finasteride and RU58841. Evidence from a study was discussed which suggests that the cause of MPB lies within the follicle itself and is not dependent on its surrounding environment.
community No idea what's causing my hair thinning
The user is experiencing diffuse hair thinning despite using finasteride and oral minoxidil, with no hairline recession or bald spots. Suggestions include checking for telogen effluvium, considering a JAK inhibitor for potential autoimmune issues, and conducting further tests to rule out other causes.
community 17M biotin and minoxidil hair regrowth progress
A user's hair regrowth journey using biotin and minoxidil after initial treatments with Nizoral shampoo and Ketoconazole serum didn't work. The comments suggest the hair loss might not be male pattern baldness (MPB), but possibly Alopecia Areata, an autoimmune disorder, and recommend getting a second opinion and considering other treatments like corticosteroids.
community Minoxidil can prevent hair follicle miniaturization!?
Minoxidil can prevent hair follicle miniaturization, not just stimulate hair growth. Finasteride and dutasteride don't work for everyone, suggesting DHT may not be the sole cause of hair loss; hair loss could be due to multiple factors, including autoimmune conditions.
