Mallia sCD83 Activates T Cells and Induces Hair Growth

sCD83 is an immune-modulatory protein that is in development for the topical treatment of hair loss. First identified in 2001 by Mallia co-founder Prof. Dr. Steinkasserer, the soluble protein induces resolution of inflammation, propagates wound healing and induces new hair growth. Several preclinical in vivo models have shown that sCD83 activates regulatory T cells (Tregs), which can directly interact and activate hair follicles. In addition, sCD83 directly binds to hair follicles thereby activating hair follicle stem cells and thus inducing new hair growth.
