Testosterone may slow down wound healing and increase inflammation.

Low serum complement levels in SLE patients don't always match with disease flares; monitoring C3 and C4 is useful, but cell-bound complement products might better indicate disease activity.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune hair loss condition treated with corticosteroids, and histologic confirmation is the best diagnosis method.

Some diseases can improve the outcomes of other diseases, leading to new treatment possibilities.

Alopecia areata causes hair loss due to an immune attack on hair follicles, influenced by genetics and environment.

Immunomodulatory therapies are effective for treating cutaneous lymphoma, particularly in early stages.

Two patients developed complete hair loss after Alemtuzumab treatment for MS, with no regrowth after two years.

Tacrolimus causes fewer acute rejections than cyclosporin A in kidney transplants but doesn't necessarily improve kidney function after one year; cardiovascular risks and side effects vary between the two drugs.

Early exposure to germs may protect against autoimmune diseases, lack of sex increases alcohol preference in fruit flies, a potential baldness treatment could involve blocking a specific receptor, skin memory cells help prevent re-infection, high-fat diets can affect brain cells related to weight, and the link between social status, stress, and heart disease in primates is unclear.

The skin has a complex immune system that is essential for protection and healing, requiring more research for better wound treatment.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease causing patchy hair loss, often with other autoimmune disorders, but its exact causes are unknown.

Lupus affects the body and skin, causing joint pain and skin issues that can be treated with steroids and antimalarial drugs.
