CD8+ T cells are involved in alopecia areata and may cause disease relapse.
research Inhibition of T-cell activity in alopecia areata: recent developments and new directions
New treatments targeting T-cell pathways are needed for better alopecia areata management.
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 Frontiers in alopecia areata pathobiology research
The review suggests that other immune cells besides CD8+ T cells may contribute to alopecia areata and that targeting regulatory cell defects could improve treatment.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Why I really believe the tension theory is the cause of MPB
The conversation discusses the tension theory as a cause of male pattern baldness (MPB), suggesting that scalp tension and reduced subcutaneous fat layer contribute to hair loss. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, microneedling, scalp massages, and Botox.
community TDM-105795 phase 2 results are in!
TDM-105795 showed promising hair growth results, with higher efficacy than placebo and minimal side effects. It activates dormant hair follicle stem cells and may maintain gains without immediate loss, unlike minoxidil.
community why isn’t RU / pyri blamed for feminization, whereas spiro is?
User asks if spironolactone can stack with finasteride and pyrilutamide for hair loss treatment. They question why spironolactone is associated with feminizing effects, while RU/pyri/fluridil, which work similarly, are not.
community Protac degradation of the androgen receptor in mice shows good efficacy and no systemic drug could be found
The efficacy of degrading the androgen receptor through dermal application in DP cells, a delivery system for topical drugs that involves dissolving microneedles, and rosemary oil as an alternative anti-androgen.
community My Theory Regarding a Cause and Cure for Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair loss theory suggests imbalance between Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) and Androgen Receptor (AR) activation. Proposed treatment includes upregulating VDR, downregulating AR, and improving mitochondrial health.
