,
October 1996 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America” This study found that 17-beta-estradiol inhibits hair growth in mice by blocking hair follicles in the telogen phase, whereas an estrogen receptor antagonist promotes hair growth by initiating anagen.
92 citations
,
February 2005 in “Endocrinology” This study found that estrogen receptor beta plays a significant role in murine hair growth control, potentially acting as a silencer of estrogen receptor alpha's catagen-promoting effects.
56 citations
,
March 2003 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that 17β-estradiol inhibited RANTES production in human keratinocytes by suppressing nuclear factor κB activity, suggesting a potential mechanism for 17β-estradiol's modulation of psoriasis-related inflammation.
25 citations
,
November 2013 in “PLoS ONE” This study demonstrates that locally synthesized estrogen and androgen neurosteroids play opposite roles in long-term synaptic changes in male rats' medial vestibular nucleus, with testosterone-dihydrotestosterone mediating long-term depression and 17β-estradiol mediating long-term potentiation.

January 2025 in “Dermatologic Therapy” This study analyzed FAERS data to explore the risk and onset patterns of autoimmune skin diseases associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors, finding a strong association particularly with bullous pemphigoid and emphasizing the need for vigilant monitoring of these adverse effects.
March 2026 in “Skin Appendage Disorders” In this study, among 450 patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors for metastatic melanoma, 1.33% developed scarring alopecia, all being female, with alopecia not impacting their cancer treatment continuation and a favorable cancer outcome reported.
In this case series, researchers reported scarring alopecia in six out of 450 patients (1.33%) treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors for metastatic melanoma, with all affected patients experiencing other immune-related adverse effects but continuing treatment with favorable cancer outcomes.
In this study, researchers reported a 1.33% prevalence of scarring alopecia among 450 patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors for metastatic melanoma, noting that hair loss did not require treatment discontinuation and seemed to coincide with favorable cancer outcomes.
