Skin bacteria can help wound healing by activating certain immune cells.

Opioid use may lower PSA levels, suggesting a possible role in prostate cancer control; PSA testing is useful for detecting prostate cancer; serum triglycerides are not linked to prostate cancer risk; and higher urethral PSA levels may be associated with local hormone activity.

Antigens from skin cells may cause hair loss in perinevoid alopecia.

Diphencyprone treatment increases CD8 lymphocytes in the scalp, which is associated with hair regrowth in alopecia areata patients.

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

Scientists made a mouse model of a serious skin cancer by changing skin cells with a virus and a specific gene, which is similar to the disease in humans.

Scalp involvement is common in pemphigus and can lead to hair loss, with the severity of scalp lesions linked to overall disease severity.

T-cell reconstitution after thymus transplantation can cause hair whitening and loss.
