This review discusses the multifaceted roles of hair follicles in skin health, including potential contributions to skin neoplasias, and reports no new results.

In this review, the authors discuss how hair may protect against scalp skin cancer by enabling IL-17-biased immunosurveillance, while hair loss could permit tumor development by reducing this immune protection.

This review by two dermatologists suggests that hair on the human scalp may protect against skin cancer not just physically, but by enabling IL-17 immune surveillance, with hair loss potentially leading to increased tumor growth due to reduced immunosurveillance.

In this review, the authors propose that hair on the scalp may protect against non-melanoma skin cancer by maintaining an IL-17 biased immunosurveillance, with hair loss potentially increasing the risk of skin cancer due to disrupted immune monitoring.

This review discusses spironolactone's new roles in tumor immunosurveillance, DNA repair inhibition, and viral infection suppression, highlighting its potential to extend uses beyond traditional applications, but reports no clinical results.
