research Loss of Langerhans Cells in Scar Lesion of Lichen Planopilaris Is Caused by Downregulation of Integrin αvβ6 in the Epidermal Keratinocytes
Scarred skin in lichen planopilaris loses immune cells due to a decrease in a specific protein in skin cells.
research Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Upregulates NKG2D Ligands in the Hair Follicle
Stress in hair follicle cells increases certain immune-related proteins, which might contribute to hair loss conditions.
research Over- And Ectopic-Expression Of FoxN1 At Early Life Adversely Influences Lymphopoiesis
Early over-expression of FoxN1 harms immune and skin development.
research Autoimmune Diseases and Acquired Von Willebrand Disease in Two Cases of Progeria
Premature aging increases the risk of immune problems and autoimmune diseases.
research Faculty Opinions Recommendation of FGF9 from Dermal γδ T Cells Induces Hair Follicle Neogenesis After Wounding
A substance called FGF9 from certain immune cells can trigger new hair growth during wound healing in mice, but humans may not have the same response due to fewer of these cells.
