    Did you mean T-cell infiltration?
    GlossaryT cell infiltration

    movement of T lymphocytes into tissue, often causing inflammation

    T cell infiltration refers to the movement and accumulation of T lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) into a specific tissue or organ. This process often occurs in response to infection, inflammation, or autoimmune conditions, where T cells target and attack perceived threats, such as pathogens or, in some cases, the body's own cells. In the context of alopecia, T cell infiltration can lead to the immune system attacking hair follicles, resulting in hair loss.

      community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

      in Research/Science  142 upvotes 2 years ago
      The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
