GlossaryInterleukin-15 (IL15)

protein that stimulates immune cells, including NK and T cells

Interleukin-15 (IL-15) is a protein that plays a crucial role in the immune system by promoting the growth and activity of certain white blood cells, including natural killer (NK) cells and T cells. It is involved in immune responses and has been studied for its potential role in conditions like alopecia areata, where it may contribute to the autoimmune attack on hair follicles.

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
