Glossary Immune Proteins

molecules that help identify and neutralize foreign invaders

Immune proteins are molecules produced by the immune system to help identify and neutralize foreign invaders like bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. Examples include antibodies, which specifically target and bind to antigens, and cytokines, which are signaling proteins that help regulate the immune response. These proteins play a crucial role in maintaining the body's defense mechanisms.

research The Human Innate Immune Protein Calprotectin Elicits a Multimetal Starvation Response in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

27 citations , September 2021 in “Microbiology Spectrum”

This study found that multimetal starvation by the immune protein calprotectin triggers unique regulatory responses in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, beyond those seen with individual metal shortages.

research The human innate immune protein calprotectin elicits a multi-metal starvation response inPseudomonas aeruginosa

May 2021 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)”

This study found that calprotectin induces complex multi-metal starvation responses in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, affecting its metal homeostasis pathways and resistance to polymyxin B.

research SARS-CoV-2 Non-Structural Proteins and Their Roles in Host Immune Evasion

52 citations , September 2022 in “Viruses”

This review discusses the functions of SARS-CoV-2 non-structural proteins in facilitating immune evasion and highlights possible therapeutic strategies, reporting no new clinical results.

Construction of Regulatory Network for Alopecia Areata Progression and Identification of Immune Monitoring Genes Based on Multiple Machine-Learning Algorithms

research Construction of regulatory network for alopecia areata progression and identification of immune monitoring genes based on multiple machine-learning algorithms

3 citations , May 2023 in “Precision clinical medicine”

This study analyzed gene expression data to identify key genes involved in severe forms of alopecia areata, discovering four immune monitoring genes (LGR5, SHISA2, HOXC13, S100A3) with potential for early diagnosis and better understanding of the disease's biological mechanisms.

research Quiescent Tissue Stem Cells Evade Immune Surveillance

169 citations , February 2018 in “Immunity”

In this study, researchers found that quiescent stem cells resist immune attack due to downregulated antigen presentation, which may help explain the immune evasion of early cancer-initiating cells.

community Prolactin's role in antitumor activity of the immune system - a safety concern for HMI-115?

4 upvotes 3 years ago

Hair loss discussion includes treatments Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841. Prolactin's role in immune system's antitumor activity raises safety concerns for HMI-115.

community Great news recently for people with hairloss!

in Research/Science 113 upvotes 1 year ago

A potential treatment for alopecia involving a protein that calms hair follicles has shown promise in rats, but skepticism remains about its applicability to humans. Many users express doubt about the timeline for effective hair loss treatments, comparing it to past unfulfilled promises.

community A Study I came along by mistake researching (Dutasteride +Pumpkin seed oil ) for every other day use.

16 upvotes 3 months ago

Alternating Dutasteride with pumpkin seed oil may protect the spleen from damage caused by Dutasteride. Pumpkin seed oil's antioxidants help counteract oxidative stress and immune suppression.

community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

16 upvotes 9 months 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.

community We should actually be hopeful for these recent new developments

112 upvotes 1 year ago

AI advancements, like AlphaFold, are speeding up drug discovery for hair loss, promising more effective treatments. Current options like minoxidil and finasteride have limitations, but new developments could improve solutions in 5-10 years.

learn procapil

Tried everything and still getting bald patches? Procapil may help calm the immune response Procapil is a cosmetic ingredient complex; laboratory studies of its individual ingredients report anti-inflammatory effects, but no published clinical trial has tested it in alopecia areata or any other immune-related hair loss. Spreading bald patches should be assessed by a dermatologist.
