research In Vitro Suppression of Human Lymphocyte Activity by Minoxidil
Minoxidil may help hair growth by stopping immune system attacks on hair follicles.
research Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia Shows Robust T Helper 1 and Janus Kinase 3 Skewing
Frontal fibrosing alopecia is linked to increased immune system activity and reduced stem cells, suggesting early treatment targeting this pathway might prevent hair follicle damage.
research Vitiligo: Autoimmunity And Immune Responses
Vitiligo is caused by the immune system attacking skin pigment cells.
research Immune-Mediated Diseases of the Central Nervous System
The document explains the difficulty in diagnosing and treating brain diseases caused by the immune system and stresses the need for quick and accurate tests.
research T-Cell Induced-Self MHC Class I/Peptide Complexes May Enable De Novo Tolerance Induction to Neo-Antigens Occurring Outside of the Thymus
Hair follicles may help teach the immune system to tolerate new self-antigens, but this can sometimes cause hair loss.
research Dandruff Is Associated With Perturbations of Hair Follicle Immune Privilege and the Infundibular and Epidermal Immune Microenvironment
