Hair loss may link to weaker COVID-19 immunity, suggesting possible need for extra vaccine boost.

This paper proposes that the induction of HF-specific neo-antigens by peripheral CD8+ T cells may maintain self-tolerance but could also lead to immunopathology in conditions like alopecia areata.

Early diagnosis of hair tourniquet syndrome saved a baby's toe from being lost.

This summary reports that γδ T cells play a role in regulating hair follicle formation during wound healing in adult skin.

This study found that the LH response to nafarelin effectively distinguished gonadotropin deficiency from constitutional delay of puberty, performing comparably to the sleep test and offering certain advantages.

This study found that recombinant human leukocyte interferon alfa-2a achieved a 64% overall antitumor response rate in patients with early and advanced cutaneous T cell lymphoma and was generally well-tolerated.

This paper reviews the use of interferons, particularly alfa interferon, in treating cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, noting its substantial efficacy both alone and in combination therapies with predictable, generally well-tolerated side effects.

This article reviews treatment options for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, including skin-directed therapies and aggressive treatments for advanced cases, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that a combination of cantigi and henna leaf extracts, in a 1:2 ratio, demonstrated the strongest antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 29.85 µg/mL.

This study suggests that estimating autism likelihood as early as one month after birth may enable more precise early intervention for children with developmental support needs, potentially improving diagnosis, workflows, and reducing service wait times.

This study observed that pediatric patients with diffuse, non-scarring alopecia had significantly lower levels of zinc and folate compared to matched healthy controls, suggesting a possible link between these deficiencies and hair loss in children.

In this study, researchers found that CD4 T cells from the skin draining lymph nodes of mice with alopecia areata can transfer the disease to recipient mice, highlighting the key role of these cells and their interaction with CD8 T cells in the disease's development.

In this case study, a 62-year-old woman with severe hyperandrogenism underwent a clomiphene test, which suggested an ovarian origin for her condition, leading to the discovery of a Leydig cell tumor after a bilateral oophorectomy.

This manuscript describes a proposed ‘trichoscopy-assisted hair pull test’ that enhances the diagnosis of hair loss conditions by allowing immediate examination of proximal hair shafts and roots in patients with a positive hair pull test.

This study found that fibroblast growth factor 9, initially secreted by γδ T cells, plays a key role in modulating hair follicle regeneration in mice after skin wounds.

This study found that IL-7 is crucial for the survival of memory regulatory T cells in the skin of mice, whereas IL-2 is essential for their initial generation but not for their maintenance.

In this study, blocking the CXCR3 receptor in mice prevented the development of alopecia areata by inhibiting the accumulation of specific T cells in the skin, suggesting a potential therapeutic approach for humans.

This study observed that the rs231775 CTLA4 genetic variant was more prevalent in Alopecia Areata patients than controls, particularly among those with severe disease.

This study found that γδ T cells play a role in regulating stromal behavior, influencing the composition and vascularity of fibrotic tissues during the foreign body response.

This clinical study found that Rosmarinum officinalis mother tincture significantly improved hair volume and density in individuals with diffuse hair loss by enhancing hair parameters measured through a hair shedding visual scale and ponytail thickness test.

This study found that direct co-culture of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells with regulatory T cells enhanced osteogenic gene expression, alkaline phosphatase activity, and matrix mineralization, suggesting Treg's potential in promoting bone regeneration by modulating BMSC mechanobiology through the ROCK-myosin signaling pathway.

This study found that neonatal Regulatory T cells are crucial for maintaining PPARγ signaling in hair follicles, which supports melanocyte stem cell function and skin pigmentation during early postnatal development.

This review summarizes recent advances in Treg cell biology, focusing on Foxp3's role in immune regulation and therapeutic reprogramming for immune dysregulatory disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that antroquinonol inhibited CD8+ T cell proliferation and reduced proinflammatory cytokine secretion in vitro, while also ameliorating H2O2-induced depigmentation and resisting reductions in hair follicle length, skin thickness, and tyrosinase expression in mice.

In this study, subcutaneous recombinant human IL-12 showed a 43% partial response rate in early-stage mycosis fungoides patients refractory to previous treatments, with generally mild to moderate adverse events reported.

This study found that the ethanol extract of mangkokan leaf (Polyscias scutellarium) demonstrated antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, with higher concentrations showing greater inhibition zones, particularly against Staphylococcus aureus.

This study demonstrated that CD19-CAR T cell therapy may promote structural regeneration in the skin of systemic sclerosis patients, as evidenced by histological improvements and fibroblast population changes, suggesting its potential for tissue remodeling in fibrotic diseases.

This study analyzed patch test results to identify allergens causing scalp contact dermatitis, finding nickel, cobalt, and balsam of Peru among the most common in the patient population.

This case study describes a 15-year-old girl with a Sertoli–Leydig cell tumor who showed high androgen levels and steroidogenic responses similar to patients with polycystic ovary syndrome before surgery.

This study suggests that analyzing hair samples with a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometric assay may offer a reliable method to measure average quarterly vitamin D levels, potentially complementing blood tests.
