T-Cell Induced-Self MHC Class I/Peptide Complexes May Enable De Novo Tolerance Induction to Neo-Antigens Occurring Outside of the Thymus

research T-cell “induced-self” MHC class I/peptide complexes may enable “de novo” tolerance induction to neo-antigens occurring outside of the thymus

8 citations , October 2016 in “Experimental dermatology”

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.

research Folliculotropic Mycosis Fungoides with Skewed T-cell Receptor CDR3 Motif: Suggestive of Lipid-antigen Selection?

3 citations , January 2017 in “Acta Dermato Venereologica”

This study found that a specific T-cell receptor motif associated with lipid-antigen stimulation may play a role in the pathogenesis of folliculotropic mycosis fungoides.

research Direct cellular reprogramming enables development of viral T antigen–driven Merkel cell carcinoma in mice

14 citations , February 2022 in “The Journal of clinical investigation/The journal of clinical investigation”

This study found that the development of Merkel cell carcinoma from hair follicles in mice can be driven by in vivo reprogramming with ATOH1 and relies on p53 loss for progression.

research Identification and characterization of the hamster polyomavirus middle T antigen

52 citations , June 1991 in “Journal of Virology”

In this study, researchers found that the ability of hamster polyomavirus to cause lymphoid tumors in Syrian hamsters may be linked to its association with the tyrosine kinase p59fyn.

research Transduction‐induced overexpression of Merkel cell T antigens in human hair follicles induces formation of pathological cell clusters with Merkel cell carcinoma‐like phenotype

5 citations , August 2021 in “Experimental dermatology”

This study suggests that Merkel cell polyomavirus T antigen-positive cells resembling Merkel cell carcinoma may originate from epithelial cells in human hair follicles, potentially informing future transgenic mouse models for this cancer.

learn Overview

learn Dutasteride

Dutasteride: Why don't some doctors prescribe it if it's stronger than finasteride? Some doctors avoid prescribing dutasteride due to its higher risk of side effects.

learn Scalp Micropigmentation

Why can't I see my scalp micropigmentation after a week? Initial fading of scalp micropigmentation is normal and density improves with subsequent sessions.

learn Hair Transplant

What happens if I don't have enough donor hair for a hair transplant? Body hair or beard hair can be used if scalp donor hair is insufficient.

learn Centella

Ever wonder why your hair doesn’t grow back thick anymore? Maybe your scalp needs better blood flow: centella could help. There is no clinical trial of centella asiatica for hair loss and no study measuring scalp blood flow in people using it; the only hair-related evidence is a 2017 cell-culture study. Centella products are cosmetics that may soothe an irritated scalp, and the link between scalp circulation and pattern hair loss is itself unproven.

learn Redensyl

What does Redensyl do that other natural ingredients don't? Redensyl uniquely targets hair follicle stem cells to reactivate hair growth.
