5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Langerin+ Dendritic Cells In Cutaneous Fibrosis: The TGF-β1 Signaling Axis
Cutaneous fibrosis, such as hypertrophic scars and keloids, occurs when immune, epithelial, and stromal signals fail to balance after injury. Langerin+ dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role by producing latent TGF-β1, which is activated by keratinocyte integrins, forming a "cytokine gate" that can lead to fibrosis if overstimulated. Active TGF-β1, along with YAP/TAZ, promotes fibroblast activation and matrix stiffening, while immune responses maintain a pro-fibrotic environment. The study explores the interaction between epithelial integrins, DCs, and fibroblast mechanotransduction, comparing normal wound healing with fibrosis, and suggests therapeutic strategies targeting the αv integrin-TGF-β1 axis, YAP/TAZ, and immune signals. This DC-focused perspective offers new hypotheses and potential for mechanism-based therapies.

5 / 44 resultscommunity Is tazarotene potentially better than tretinoin in combination with topical minoxidil?
Tazarotene may be more effective than tretinoin when combined with topical minoxidil for hair loss due to its selective binding to RAR-beta and gamma, though it can cause irritation. Tazarotene's potency can lead to indirect inflammatory reactions despite potentially causing less irritation than tretinoin.
