research The Contributory Roles of Th17 Lymphocyte and Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte at the Hair Bulge Region and Hair Bulb Area in Chronic Alopecia Areata Patients
Certain immune cells contribute to severe hair loss in chronic alopecia areata, with Th17 cells possibly having a bigger impact than cytotoxic T cells.
research The Potential of Regulatory T Cell-Based Therapies for Alopecia Areata
Treg cell-based therapies might help treat hair loss from alopecia areata, but more research is needed to confirm safety and effectiveness.
research Enrichment of Specific Hair Follicle-Associated Cell Populations in Plucked Hairs Offers an Opportunity to Study Gene Expression Underlying Hair Traits
Plucked hairs can be used instead of skin biopsies to study hair traits because they contain specific cells related to hair.
research Current Concepts and Translational Uses of Platelet-Rich Plasma Biotechnology
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) shows promise for tissue repair and immune response, but more research is needed to fully understand it and optimize its use.
research Frontiers in Alopecia Areata Pathobiology Research
The review suggests that other immune cells besides CD8+ T cells may contribute to alopecia areata and that targeting regulatory cell defects could improve treatment.
research Molecular Heterogeneity of Quiescent Melanocyte Stem Cells Revealed by Single-Cell RNA-Sequencing
Different types of resting melanocyte stem cells have unique characteristics and vary in their potential to become other cells.
research Stem Cell Therapy for Burns: The Story So Far
Stem cell therapy shows promise in improving burn wound healing.
research Cytostatics and Immunosuppressive Drugs: Toxicities and Management
Some cancer and immune system drugs can cause serious side effects, including heart, lung, nerve, and organ damage, which need careful monitoring and management.
research Dietary Supplementation With L-Glutamine Enhances Immunity and Reduces Heat Stress in Hanwoo Steers Under Heat Stress Conditions
Adding L-glutamine to the diet of Hanwoo steers may boost their immune system and help them cope with heat.
research Editor's Choice: November 2017 British Journal of Dermatology Highlights
Organ transplant recipients have a higher risk of skin cancer over time, atopic dermatitis skin shows unusual bacterial and fungal patterns, a new tool for measuring hidradenitis suppurativa severity was created, and gene expression changes in male baldness suggest new treatments.
research Alopecia Areata: An Autoimmune Disease Causing Hair Loss
Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss with no cure and treatments that often don't work well.
research Probing the Effects of Stress Mediators on the Human Hair Follicle
Stress-related substance P may lead to hair loss and negatively affect hair growth.
research Regulation of the Wound Healing Response During Aging
Aging slows wound healing due to weaker cells and immune response.
research Developing Stratified Epithelia: Lessons from the Epidermis and Thymus
The skin and thymus develop similarly to protect and support immunity.
research Current and Future Pharmacotherapy for Alopecia Areata
New treatments for hair loss show promise but need more research to confirm safety and effectiveness.
research BJD Snippet
Researchers found certain genes are overactive and others are underactive in men with early balding, which could help create new treatments.
research The Pathogenesis of Primary Cicatricial Alopecias
The document concludes that more research is needed to better understand and treat primary cicatricial alopecias, and suggests a possible reclassification based on molecular pathways.
research Engineering Pro-Regenerative Hydrogels for Scarless Wound Healing
Hydrogels could lead to better treatments for wound healing without scars.
research Psoriasis Is Characterized by Deficient Negative Immune Regulation Compared to Transient Delayed-Type Hypersensitivity Reactions
Psoriasis may be chronic because it lacks certain immune system controls that prevent overreaction.
research Dengue Virus Infects Primary Human Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells
Dengue virus can infect human hair follicle cells and may cause hair loss.
research An Appraisal of Laboratory Models of Androgenetic Alopecia: A Systematic Review
Better hair loss models needed for research.
research Seborrhea-Like Dermatitis Phenotype in the Mpzl3 Knockout Mice
MPZL3 is crucial for seborrheic dermatitis development.
research Deciphering the Functions of the Hair Follicle Infundibulum in Skin Physiology and Disease
The hair follicle infundibulum plays a key role in skin health and disease, and understanding it better could lead to new skin disease treatments.
research Discovery of Autoantigens in the Hair Loss Disorder Alopecia Areata: Implications of Posttranslational Modifications
Scientists are still unsure what triggers the immune system to attack hair follicles in Alopecia areata.
research Injury-Induced Interleukin-1 Alpha Promotes Lgr5 Hair Follicle Stem Cells Regeneration and Proliferation via Regulating Regenerative Microenvironment in Mice
The protein interleukin-1 alpha helps regenerate hair follicles and increase stem cell growth in mice.
research Adipose Tissue-Derived Stromal Vascular Fraction in Regenerative Medicine: A Brief Review on Biology and Translation
Fat tissue-derived cells show promise for repairing body tissues, but more research and regulation are needed for safe use.
research Structure and Function of the Skin
The document concludes that the skin is a complex organ providing protection, sensation, and healing, with challenges in treating conditions like itchiness.
research The Blastema and Epimorphic Regeneration in Mammals
Mammals might fail to regenerate not because they lack the right cells, but because of how cells respond to their surroundings, and changing this environment could enhance regeneration.
research Emerging Nonmetabolic Functions of Skin Fat
Skin fat has important roles in hair growth, skin repair, immune defense, and aging, and could be targeted for skin and hair treatments.
