research Mechanisms Regulating Skin Immunity and Inflammation
The document concludes that understanding how the skin's immune system and inflammation work is complex and requires more research to improve treatments for skin diseases.
research Choreographing Immunity in the Skin Epithelial Barrier
The document concludes that the skin's immune system is complex, involving interactions with hair follicles, nerves, and microbes, and can protect or cause disease, offering targets for new treatments.
research Resident Macrophages of the Lung and Liver: The Guardians of Our Tissues
Lung and liver macrophages protect our tissues and their dysfunction can cause various diseases.
research Skin-Specific Regulation of SREBP Processing and Lipid Biosynthesis by Glycerol Kinase 5
A gene called Gk5 controls lipid production in the skin and affects hair growth.
research Mechanism of Salutary Effects of Finasteride on Post-Traumatic Immune/Inflammatory Response
Finasteride reduces inflammation and improves immune response after trauma by altering hormone levels.
research Erythema Nodosum Leprosum: Immunoglobulin G Subclasses and Complement Activation
The study suggests that complement activation, not immunoglobulins, may be important in erythema nodosum leprosum.
research Hair Loss With Rapid Weight Loss
Eating more protein during fast weight loss can prevent hair loss.
research Development of a Novel Three-Dimensional Human Epidermal Model from Plucked Hair Follicle-Derived Keratinocytes
Scientists created a new 3D skin model from cells of plucked hairs that works like real skin and is easier to get.
research Hazards of Topical Mitotic Blocking Agents
Topical mitotic blocking agents like colchicine can be dangerous and potentially fatal, and hair loss from rapid weight loss is due to low protein, not the speed of weight loss.
research Folliculitis Decalvans: A Rare Inflammatory Scalp Disorder
Folliculitis decalvans is a rare scalp condition causing scarring hair loss, treated with long-term antibiotics and other medications, but it often comes back and is hard to manage.
