research Autoantigen Screening in C3H/HeJ Mouse Model of Alopecia Areata Revealed High Antigenicity of Melanocyte-Associated Antigen Epitopes
Melanocyte-associated antigens may play a key role in alopecia areata and could be targets for new treatments.
research Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Disease Occurring During Pegylated Interferon-α2b and Ribavirin Combination Therapy for Chronic Hepatitis C
Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease, a rare multisystem autoimmune syndrome, was reported to occur during pegylated interferon-α2b and ribavirin combination therapy for chronic hepatitis C. VKH disease involves ocular, neurological, and integumentary symptoms, and is thought to be triggered by an autoimmune T-cell response to a melanocyte-associated antigen. The immunological response to interferon and ribavirin may exacerbate this condition, although such a complication is very rare. This case highlights the potential for VKH disease to develop during interferon therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C.

5 / 7 resultscommunity Peptides that Stop Hair Loss? | In-depth Literature Review Video
Peptides like TB500, KPV, GHK-CU, and BPC-157 are overhyped for hair growth with limited proven effectiveness in humans. Combining peptides with delivery methods like iontophoresis and sonophoresis shows promise, but many claims remain unproven.
community Please explain this Minoxidil phenomena
The post discusses the difference in effects of Minoxidil (Min) on scalp and facial hair. The user questions why Min-induced hair growth on the scalp is temporary, while facial hair growth seems permanent, even after stopping Min. They propose theories, including different Min mechanisms on body and facial hair, the role of DHT, and the possibility of not achieving fully terminal hair. The responses include personal experiences and theories about Min's effects on hair growth.
community Microneedling and aloe vera to recruit stem cells.
Microneedling combined with aloe vera may stimulate dormant stem cells in hair loss areas. Minoxidil is also suggested for better results.
community Is there any new drug that looks promising ?
The conversation discusses GT20029, a drug in Phase II trials that targets androgen receptors with minimal systemic effects, and TDM-105795, a growth stimulant with a different mechanism than minoxidil that may revive papilla stem cells. Both are potential new treatments for hair loss.
community Fin 1mg / min foam twice a day 4 months
Hair loss treatment with Fin 1mg, Min foam twice a day for 4 months. Minoxidil can make hair darker by stimulating melanocytes; keto shampoo also used.
