Stress-related substance P may lead to hair loss and negatively affect hair growth.

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.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease causing patchy hair loss, often with other autoimmune disorders, but its exact causes are unknown.

Alopecia areata is a common autoimmune disease affecting about 2% of people, causing significant disability and often associated with mental health issues and other autoimmune conditions.

Cannabinoids may help treat various skin conditions.

The niche environment controls stem cell behavior and plasticity, which is important for tissue health and repair.

Stem cells in the hair follicle are regulated by their surrounding environment, which is important for hair growth.

A gluten-free diet significantly improves skin and health issues in people with dermatitis herpetiformis, a skin condition linked to celiac disease.

Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.

The skin's internal clock affects healing, cancer risk, aging, immunity, and hair growth, and disruptions can harm skin health.
