5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Dermal T cell immunity and key regulatory signaling pathways: Implications in immune-mediated alopecia and hair regeneration
This review highlights that T cells are crucial in regulating hair follicle regeneration and their disruption can lead to alopecia, providing insights into hair disorders related to T cell immune balance and hair follicle regeneration.
research RNase L represses hair follicle regeneration through altered innate immune signaling
This research observed that removing RNase L in mice enhances regenerative capacity through increased IL-36 and wound-induced hair neogenesis, highlighting RNase L as a gene that represses regeneration by moderating immune responses during viral infections.
research RNase L represses hair follicle regeneration through altered innate immune signaling
This study found that RNase L acts as a regeneration repressor gene in mammals, as seen in Rnasel-/- mice which showed increased regenerative capacity and elevated Wound Induced Hair Neogenesis through enhanced IL-36α signaling, suggesting a tradeoff between regeneration and immune regulation.
research 1432 IL-9/IL-9R signaling as a novel regulator of human hair follicle growth and immune privilege
In ex vivo organ culture of human scalp hair follicles, this study found that IL-9 signaling inhibits hair growth, reduces progenitor cell generation, and disrupts immune privilege.

5 / 279 resultscommunity I hope ET-02 or PP405 will be released in the next 4-5 years
PP405 is a potential hair loss treatment that may work by blocking signals that cause hair cells to stop growing, requiring daily application for effectiveness. It could serve as an alternative to minoxidil and finasteride, but it is not yet available on the market and may take several years to be released.
community Hair loss after COVID or vaccination isn’t “made up” but it’s also not what TikTok makes it sound like
COVID and COVID vaccination can trigger hair loss, primarily telogen effluvium, due to stress and immune system activation. Proper diagnosis and addressing factors like nutrition and stress are crucial for recovery.
community Any interesting future treatments around the corner
Potential future hair loss treatments include stem cell therapy, Clascosterone (Breezula), Amplifica's signaling molecules, Botox, and dutasteride mesotherapy. Some treatments are promising but expensive, like Tsuji's technique, while others, like Botox, show unexpected results.
community Hair Loss “Cure” for Inflammation: Topical Roflumilast
Topical roflumilast is effective for reducing inflammation in various scalp conditions like seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, and eczema, but not proven to stop scarring alopecia. Alternatives like apremilast and Vtama are also discussed for their anti-inflammatory benefits.
community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia
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.

6 / 10 results- How does tofacitinib differ when used orally versus topically in hair loss treatment research? Oral tofacitinib acts on immune signalling throughout the body and has more published regrowth data in alopecia areata (from small studies without placebo groups), alongside an FDA boxed warning; topical tofacitinib aims to act only on the scalp, but the human evidence is a handful of small compounded-formulation studies with no large randomized trial. Neither route is approved for hair loss, and regrowth generally reverses after treatment stops.
- Getting bald patches? What is and isn't known about Procapil and immune-related hair loss 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.
