4 citations,
February 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The document concludes that a protein involved in hair growth may link to baldness and that more research is needed on its role in hair loss and skin cancer treatments.
2 citations,
July 2022 in “Frontiers in Medicine” The cause of Frontal fibrosing alopecia, a type of hair loss, is complex, likely involving immune responses and genetics, but is not fully understood.
November 2015 in “European Journal of Inflammation” 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.
October 2023 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” Early regulatory T cells are crucial for normal skin pigmentation.
68 citations,
December 2014 in “Cell Biochemistry and Function” Nuclear hormone receptors play a significant role in skin wound healing and could lead to better treatment methods.
July 2022 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study involving 93 Egyptian female patients with Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (FFA) and 157 healthy controls found that FFA patients had significantly lower serum levels of Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptors Gamma (PPARγ) and a higher prevalence of the PPARG (Pro12Ala) gene polymorphism. These genetic variations were linked to reduced PPARγ levels and increased FFA severity, suggesting that PPARγ could be a crucial biomarker for FFA. Although the study indicates the potential of PPARγ agonists in treating FFA, it could not evaluate their therapeutic efficacy due to patient compliance issues.
