    GlossaryCD200 receptor

    protein on immune cells that regulates immune response

    The CD200 receptor (CD200R) is a protein found on the surface of certain immune cells, such as macrophages and dendritic cells. It plays a crucial role in regulating the immune response by interacting with its ligand, CD200, to send inhibitory signals that help prevent excessive inflammation and autoimmunity. This interaction is important in maintaining immune tolerance and has implications in conditions like alopecia, where immune regulation is disrupted.

      community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

      in Research/Science  17 upvotes 1 week ago
      Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
