Scarring hair follicle destruction is driven by the collapse of EGFR-protected JAK-STAT1-sensitive stem cell immune privilege
2023-10-14
Abstract excerpt
The hair follicle stem cell niche is an immune-privileged microenvironment, characterised by suppressed antigen presentation, thus shielding against permanent immune-mediated tissue damage. In this study, we demonstrate the protective role of hair follicle-specific epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) from scarring hair follicle degeneration. Mechanistically, disruption of EGFR signalling generates a cell intri...
