GlossaryImmunomodulatory Treatments (Immunomodulation Therapies)

therapies that adjust immune system activity to treat diseases

Immunomodulatory Treatments are therapies designed to modify the immune system's response. They can either enhance or suppress immune activity to treat various conditions, such as autoimmune diseases, where the immune system attacks the body's own tissues, or to boost the immune response against infections and cancers. These treatments can include medications like corticosteroids, biologics, and other agents that specifically target immune pathways.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

in Research 828 upvotes 5 months ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
