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 More Expression of IL-17 Than IFN-γ from CD49a-Negative Tissue-Resident Memory T Cells at the Hair Bulge and Hair Bulb Region in the Scalp of Chronic Alopecia Areata Patients According to the Foxp3+ mTregs Depletion
IL-17 and certain immune cells are linked to more severe alopecia areata.
research Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia Shows Robust T Helper 1 and Janus Kinase 3 Skewing
Frontal fibrosing alopecia is linked to increased immune system activity and reduced stem cells, suggesting early treatment targeting this pathway might prevent hair follicle damage.
research Skin-Infiltrating CD4+ Lymphoma Cells Depend on Hair Follicle-Derived IL-7
Hair follicles produce IL-7, which is essential for certain skin lymphoma cells to survive.
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.

5 / 585 resultscommunity 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.
community 21M with a nasty case of MPB; Heres what's on my radar for the future.
Hopeful treatments for hair loss, including Verteporfin, Androgen Receptor Degradation, and SCUBE3. These treatments offer potential solutions to slow or stop the effects of androgens on the scalp.
community Increased adipose tissue (being overweight) in males may increase likelyhood of finasterde side effects
Being overweight may increase finasteride side effects due to higher aromatase activity converting testosterone to estradiol. Maintaining a healthy weight could reduce these side effects.
community Hair theory Scar tissue and Verteporfin
A user suggests that deeper microneedling with Verteporfin injections might help regrow hair in areas with scar tissue, alongside a DHT blocker. Another user explains that hair loss might be due to reduced Wnt/β-Catenin signaling and suggests that treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and microneedling could potentially reverse it.
community Finasteride update/information on Penis/Penile Tissue
Finasteride can reduce DHT in the genitalia, potentially causing side effects like reduced erections and penile fibrosis. Using PDE5 inhibitors like Tadalafil or Sildenafil may help maintain penile health and prevent fibrosis.
