June 2026 in “British Journal of Dermatology” This case report discusses an atypical presentation of bullous pemphigoid in a young man potentially triggered by occupational chemical exposure, highlighting diagnostic challenges and effective treatment with clobetasol propionate and prednisolone, transitioning to mycophenolate mofetil.
November 2024 in “Circulation” This study found that GLP1-RAs, while not triggering significant safety signals, were reported more often for suicide, hair loss, and aspiration events compared to some other diabetes medications.
October 2024 in “Frontiers in Immunology” This study proposes that intranasal exposure to PTx and autoantigen in an animal model can trigger autoimmune disease, supporting the idea that subclinical nasal colonization by BP may cause alopecia areata.
April 2024 in “International Journal of Women’s Dermatology” This case report highlights the potential for laser hair reduction treatments to trigger Fox-Fordyce disease, a chronic skin disorder, and underscores the need for awareness and management strategies among patients and clinicians.
January 2024 in “Annals of dermatology/Annals of Dermatology” The abstract notes that while telogen effluvium—a condition causing diffuse hair loss—is triggered by stressors like significant weight loss, there is limited literature specifically exploring the connection between telogen effluvium and weight loss.
June 2022 in “Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology” This case report describes a rare association where herpes zoster infection may have triggered the first attack of NMOSD with systemic vasculitis in a patient, suggesting potential overlaps in immunopathogenesis.
November 2021 in “Authorea (Authorea)” This case report suggests that platelet-rich plasma and hair transplantation may trigger or worsen the progression of cutaneous pseudolymphoma to lymphoma, particularly in patients with a family history.
April 2021 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” In this study, Covid-19 was found to trigger alopecia areata and telogen effluvium by activating different autoimmune pathways, indicating a connection between these hair loss conditions and the virus.
October 2020 in “The American journal of gastroenterology” This case study reports a previously undescribed cause of drug-induced autoimmune hepatitis triggered by para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), emphasizing the need for caution with this supplement.
April 2018 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction might contribute to the pathogenesis of Lichen planopilaris by triggering a metabolic shift that leads to chronic inflammation and hair follicle damage.
October 2016 in “Mağallaẗ Kulliyyaẗ al-ṭibb Baġdād” This study found that most cases of telogen effluvium in Iraqi women had no clear triggering factor, although significant hair thinning was uncommon.

,
August 2005 in “Nature” In this study, researchers discovered that activating TERT in mouse skin epithelium triggers dormant hair follicle stem cells, leading to rapid hair growth, through a pathway independent of telomere extension.
80 citations
,

6 citations
,
September 2024 in “Plant Cell & Environment” This study found that in Arabidopsis root hairs, mild chitosan treatment triggered callose deposition and slowed growth, while a higher concentration inhibited growth without callose deposition, indicating different responses based on chitosan concentration.
5 citations
,
February 2019 in “Neuroscience letters” This study found that both declining levels of the neurosteroid THP and increasing levels of estradiol before puberty trigger maximal expression of α4βδ GABAA receptors in the CA1 hippocampus of female mice.
