Certain immune cells contribute to skin autoimmune diseases, and some treatments can reverse hair loss in these conditions.
research Hair Follicle-Derived IL-7 and IL-15 Mediate Skin-Resident Memory T Cell Homeostasis and Lymphoma
Hair follicle-derived IL-7 and IL-15 are crucial for maintaining skin-resident memory T cells and could be targeted for treating skin diseases and lymphoma.

research Local Heroes or Villains: Tissue-Resident Memory T Cells in Human Health and Disease
Tissue-resident memory T cells can protect against infections and cancer but may also contribute to autoimmune diseases.

research The Dynamics of the Skin’s Immune System
The skin has a complex immune system that is essential for protection and healing, requiring more research for better wound treatment.

research Skin CD4+ Memory T Cells Exhibit Combined Cluster-Mediated Retention and Equilibration with the Circulation

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Most hair transplants are obvious
The conversation is about hair transplants and the perception that they often look unnatural, especially in the first few rows of hair. There is a debate about whether it's better to choose a cheaper clinic in Turkey or a more expensive one in the USA, with some arguing that experience and skill matter more than cost.
community I just went to a dermatologist and there were many red flags about him.
A user visited a dermatologist for hair loss concerns and was prescribed a hair lotion called "Lotion revolotion evdermia," which is meant for hair toning, hydration, and anti-aging, not regrowth. The user found the dermatologist's behavior and the prescription to be questionable.
community Efficacy and Systemic DHT Suppression of Topical Finasteride vs Dutasteride
Topical dutasteride may have limited absorption due to its higher molecular mass compared to finasteride, potentially affecting its efficacy in suppressing DHT locally. Microneedling might enhance dutasteride absorption, possibly offering stronger local DHT suppression with fewer systemic effects.
community Verteporfin and Microneedling
Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
