research Cicatricial Alopecia: What's New in Etiology?
Cicatricial alopecia, a permanent hair loss condition, is mainly caused by damage to specific hair follicle stem cells and abnormal immune responses, with gene regulator PPAR-y and lipid metabolism disorders playing significant roles.
research Dandruff Lesional Scalp Skin Exhibits Epidermal T Cell Infiltration and a Weakened Hair Follicle Immune Privilege
Dandruff is linked to increased T cells and weakened immune protection in hair follicles.
research TNF Superfamily in Skin Appendage Development
TNF family proteins are crucial for the development of skin features like hair, teeth, and mammary glands.
research CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ Regulatory Tregs Inhibit Fibrocyte Recruitment and Fibrosis via Suppression of FGF-9 Production in the TGF-β1 Exposed Murine Lung
Special immune cells called Tregs can help prevent lung scarring by blocking a specific growth factor.
research Characterization of Cell Cycle Arrest and Terminal Differentiation in a Maximally Proliferative Human Epithelial Tissue: Lessons from the Human Hair Follicle Matrix
CIP/KIP proteins help stop cell division and support hair growth.
research Tinea Capitis Mimicking Cicatricial Alopecia: What Host and Dermatophyte Factors Lead to This Unusual Clinical Presentation?
Some cases of tinea capitis, a fungal scalp infection, can look like scarring hair loss due to the body's immune response and the fungus itself.
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 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 Proteomic Analysis of Balding and Non-Balding Mesenchyme-Derived Dermal Papilla Cells from Androgenetic Alopecia Patients Using Online Two-Dimensional Reversed Phase-Reversed Phase LC-MS/MS
Found different proteins in balding and non-balding cells, giving insight into hair loss causes.
research Experimental Cutaneous Bacillus Anthracis Infections in Hairless HRS/J Mice
Hairless HRS/J mice resist Bacillus anthracis skin infections due to high numbers of immune cells, not because they lack hair follicles.
research The Role of Heat Shock Proteins in the Pathogenesis of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: A Review of the Literature
Heat Shock Proteins are important in the development of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and could be targets for new treatments.
research Expression of COX-2 and Bcl-2 in 50 Patients of Lichen Planus
COX-2 and Bcl-2 proteins are involved in Lichen Planus.
research An Integrated Model of Alopecia Areata Biomarkers Highlights Both Th1/Th2 Upregulation, with Stronger Correlations Between Th2 Activation and Disease Severity
Both Th1 and Th2 immune responses are increased in alopecia areata, with Th2 response more strongly linked to how severe the disease is.
research Both Lesional and Non-Lesional Skin from Acne Patients Shows Robust IL-17-Skewing and Upregulation of Antimicrobial Peptides
Acne patients' skin, both with and without lesions, shows a strong immune response and higher antimicrobial activity.
research Hair, Cutaneous Homeostasis, and Stem Cell Functions
Proteins like aPKC and PDGF-AA, substances like adenosine and ATP, and adipose-derived stem cells all play important roles in hair growth and health, and could potentially be used to treat hair loss and skin conditions.
research News in Brief
Scientists found key proteins and genes that affect skin and hair health, and identified potential new treatments for hair loss, skin disorders, and wound healing.
research The Role of Hair Follicle Immune Privilege Collapse in Alopecia Areata: Status and Perspectives
Alopecia areata may be treated by restoring hair follicle immune privilege and adjusting immune responses.
research YAP And TAZ Are Essential For Basal And Squamous Cell Carcinoma Initiation
YAP and TAZ proteins are necessary for the development of two types of skin cancer.
research A Novel Therapeutic Paradigm for Patients with Extensive Alopecia Areata
New treatments targeting immune pathways show promise for severe hair loss but need more research for safety and effectiveness.
research Esrp1-Regulated Splicing of Arhgef11 Isoforms Is Required for Epithelial Tight Junction Integrity
The study concluded that specific proteins are necessary to maintain the structure that holds epithelial cells tightly together.
research Exomic Sequencing of Immune-Related Genes Reveals Novel Candidate Variants Associated with Alopecia Universalis
HLA-DRB5 and other genes may be linked to alopecia universalis.
research Toll-Like Receptor 4 (TLR4): New Insights into Immunity and Aging
TLR4 is important in aging-related diseases and could be a new treatment target.
research Acquired Immunogenicity of DNA After Modification with Malondialdehyde in Patients with Alopecia Areata
Malondialdehyde-modified DNA may trigger an immune response in alopecia areata patients.
