Hair follicle cells help protect against immune attacks by regulating T-cell activity.
research MicroRNA-1246 Inhibits NFATc1 Phosphorylation and Regulates T Helper 17 Cell Activation in the Pathogenesis of Severe Alopecia Areata
A substance called miR-1246 may help treat severe hair loss by reducing certain immune cell activities.
research Antroquinonol Exerts Immunosuppressive Effect on CD8+ T Cell Proliferation and Activation to Resist Depigmentation Induced by H2O2
Antroquinonol may help prevent skin depigmentation by suppressing certain immune cells.
research TLR9 Activation in Large Wound Induces Tissue Repair and Hair Follicle Regeneration via γδT Cells
Activating TLR9 helps heal wounds and regrow hair by using specific immune cells.
research Expression of Programmed Cell Death 1 Inversely Correlated With the Density of CD8+ T Cells Infiltrating Hair Follicles in Alopecia Areata
Higher PD-1 levels are linked to fewer immune cells in hair follicles in alopecia areata.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity If the main mechanism of microneedling is an increase in bloodflow to the scalp, shouldn't we be pursuing other actions which increase bloodflow? Sauna, cold showers, high dosage fish oil, hard cardio, heme-iron(red meats), HAND STANDS, foods high in NO (arugula), ginger, increased water consumption
Microneedling stimulates hair growth through stem cell activation during wound healing, not just increased blood flow. Other methods like showers or supplements don't replicate this effect.
community Scientists discover new T cell treatment that could regrow hair
Scientists discovered a new T cell treatment that could regrow hair. Users are skeptical but hopeful, with some relying on finasteride and minoxidil in the meantime.
community I’m 14 years old and I’m losing more hair than my dad. I’ve gone to the doctor 2 times because of this and I’ve received no help. I’m starting to feel like It’s worthless and my hairs gonna look like this forever. I don’t know how anyone could help me but it’s always worth a shot.
A 14 year old who is experiencing hair loss and has not received any help from the doctor, with advice being given to try different doctors, get tested for underlying conditions and intolerances, buzz it short as an option and treatments that could slow down or reverse the hair loss such as minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841 and addressing the cause of the hair loss.
community I am not losing my hair (yet) and do not think I will soon, but I am a pre medicine major who has an obsession over stem cells and want to share something with you all. Your future is brighter than you think.
User hoodoomoovoo discusses their interest in stem cell research and its potential for hair loss treatment. They share links to studies and mention ongoing trials, expressing optimism for a future solution to hair loss.
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.
