research Sterol Intermediates of Cholesterol Biosynthesis Inhibit Hair Growth and Trigger an Innate Immune Response in Cicatricial Alopecia
In this study, researchers found that impaired cholesterol biosynthesis in hair follicles may trigger an inflammatory immune response linked to primary cicatricial alopecia, providing new insights into the disorder's pathogenesis.
research Could Vaccination against COVID-19 Trigger Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases?
This study reported an increased likelihood of hidradenitis suppurativa flares in patients who received mRNA COVID-19 vaccines compared to those who received non-mRNA vaccines, indicating a potential association that warrants further research in larger populations.
research PINK1 deficiency rewires early immune responses in a mouse model of Parkinson’s disease triggered by intestinal infection
This study identified peripheral myeloid cells as the earliest dysregulated immune cells in PINK1 KO mice with Parkinson’s-like symptoms following intestinal infections, suggesting that PINK1 regulates gut immune functions linked to early Parkinson’s disease mechanisms.
research Erythrodermic Psoriasis in the Context of Emerging Triggers: Insights into Dupilumab-Associated and COVID-19-Induced Psoriatic Disease
This study reports that SARS-CoV-2 infection, COVID-19 vaccination, and off-label dupilumab treatment may exacerbate psoriasis, with overlapping inflammatory pathways involving cytokines like IL-17 and TNF-α. Histopathological similarities between psoriasis flares and COVID-19 skin manifestations were noted, suggesting a potential connection requiring further research.

5 / 267 resultscommunity 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 Alcohol consumption triggering sheds.
Alcohol consumption can trigger hair shedding and affect hair treatment effectiveness, especially in those with autoimmune diseases. Treatments mentioned include RU58841, oral minoxidil, and stemoxydine, with finasteride also noted by another user.
community A Study I came along by mistake researching (Dutasteride +Pumpkin seed oil ) for every other day use.
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 Fully Functional Hair Follicles Have Been Grown in The Lab For The First Time
Scientists have successfully grown functional hair follicles in the lab, marking a significant advancement in hair regeneration research. A user shared their personal experience with hair loss treatments, including Minoxidil and Finasteride, and plans to share a detailed protocol for hair restoration.
community You will lose hair if your prostaglandins aren't in balance
Prostaglandin balance affects hair loss, particularly in conditions like Lichen Planopilaris, where an imbalance can lead to hair follicle damage. Treatments mentioned include prostaglandin analogs and Pioglitazone HCL, with a focus on maintaining prostaglandin equilibrium for potential hair regrowth.
