Glossary Pro-inflammatory cytokines

signaling molecules that trigger inflammation in the body

Pro-inflammatory cytokines are signaling molecules released by immune cells that promote inflammation in the body. They play a crucial role in the immune response by helping to fight off infections and heal injuries, but excessive or chronic production can lead to inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and alopecia areata. Examples include tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1 (IL-1), and interleukin-6 (IL-6).

research Single‐cell RNA sequencing highlights the role of proinflammatory fibroblasts, vascular endothelial cells, and immune cells in the keloid immune microenvironment

6 citations , October 2024 in “International Journal of Dermatology”

In this study, researchers conducted single-cell RNA sequencing to reveal that proinflammatory fibroblasts and vascular endothelial cells play significant roles in the immune microenvironment of keloids, suggesting potential targets for new therapeutic approaches.

research Identification of immune microenvironment changes, immune-related pathways and genes in male androgenetic alopecia

September 2023 in “Medicine”

This study found increased infiltration of specific immune cells, such as γδ T cells and CD8+ T cells, in the bald scalp of male androgenetic alopecia patients, and identified four key immune-related genes potentially involved in hair loss development through interferon-γ signaling pathways.

research Microarray Gene Expression Analysis of Lesional Skin in Canine Pemphigus Foliaceus

February 2024 in “Veterinary sciences”

This study found that canine pemphigus foliaceus skin lesions exhibit a distinct immune signature, with upregulated pro-inflammatory and Th17-related genes, showing similarities to human pemphigus. Further research using advanced sequencing is needed to better understand the disease's pathogenesis.

research O05 Distinct epidermal cell populations and single-cell gene expression signatures are associated with Staphylococcus aureus in atopic dermatitis

January 2026 in “British Journal of Dermatology”

In this study, distinct immune and cellular profiles were observed in adults with atopic dermatitis associated with high levels of Staphylococcus aureus, including increased proinflammatory T cells and markers of skin barrier impairment, pointing to potential therapeutic targets for managing these interactions.

Temporal Dynamics of Endothelium After Radiation Injury Reveal a Transient Pro-Angiogenic Capillary Subpopulation Associated With Skin Repair

research Temporal Dynamics of Endothelium After Radiation Injury Reveal a Transient Pro-Angiogenic Capillary Subpopulation Associated with Skin Repair

March 2026 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences”

In this laboratory study, researchers observed that mouse vascular endothelial cells exhibit dynamic changes after exposure to ionizing radiation, including a transient endothelial subpopulation that facilitates vascular-epidermal communication and skin repair, with shifting roles in angiogenesis and immune surveillance over time.

community Do you think people of previous generations had better hair? What changed?

2171 upvotes 11 months ago

Hair loss is less common now due to accessible treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hair transplants. Improved hair care, skincare, and lifestyle changes contribute to people looking younger today.

community What are all of the lifestyle factors that can speed up MPB?

34 upvotes 2 years ago

Genetics mainly cause hair loss, but diet, stress, smoking, and alcohol can worsen it. Treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, and lifestyle changes like a healthy diet and avoiding caffeine.

community New Research- Creatine Increasing Scalp DHT Without Corresponding Serum DHT Increase

121 upvotes 2 years ago

Creatine may increase scalp DHT without affecting serum DHT, potentially speeding up male pattern baldness (MPB) for those genetically prone. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.

community Occipitalis Muscle Tension Theory

13 upvotes 7 months ago

Scalp tension from the occipitalis muscle is theorized to contribute to hair loss, but most believe DHT and genetics are the main causes. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are considered more effective than addressing scalp tension.

community How is it possible for someone to be a non responder to ORAL minoxidil?

in Minoxidil 66 upvotes 2 years ago

Some individuals do not respond to oral minoxidil for hair loss, despite it generally working by improving blood flow to hair follicles. Factors like metabolism, drug interactions, and individual variations in the drug's activation may influence its effectiveness.

Is the omega-3 to omega-6 ratio in your diet feeding your hair problem without you knowing? Nutrition sources describe a lopsided omega-6 to omega-3 intake as pro-inflammatory, but no published human study shows that the dietary ratio changes 5-alpha reductase, scalp DHT or hair loss; the one relevant trial tested a commercial omega-3/6 plus antioxidant supplement in 120 women, not a change in dietary fat ratio.
