GlossaryInterleukin-1 alpha

promotes inflammation and influences hair follicle biology

Interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1α) is a type of protein known as a cytokine, which plays a crucial role in the body's immune response by promoting inflammation. It is involved in various cellular activities, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. In the context of hair and alopecia, IL-1α can influence hair follicle biology and has been implicated in inflammatory conditions that may lead to hair loss.
