So new creams and actually oral medications have come out for patients who have very refractory vitiligo. The immune component is very fascinating because understanding immune biology and the immune system's effects on skin health comes from studying these patients. When patients have vitiligo, they lose all of their color.

So you would assume that they're much more susceptible to sunburns, which they are. But when you look at incidence of skin cancers, they have a significantly lower incidence of skin cancer. And this is because of the immune phenomenon in immune surveillance of cancer. And that occurs throughout the body, but the skin is a model platform for this.

What happens is your immune system surveys for mutant changes that occur, whether it's UV related, et cetera, infection, toxin, whatever. And patients who have vitiligo have overactivity of these immune cells and over surveillance. So they are able to clear a lot of these precancerous changes before they form into something.

So that played a big role in not only understanding how to treat vitiligo, but some of our new medicines, actually the medicines that won the Nobel Prize in 2018 for treating melanoma came from understanding immune activity and cancer pathogenesis.

Yeah, the skin's a biosensor. The entire skin, hair, nails is a biosensor. So you can utilize the skin as the first barometer of illness. I mean, from acute illness to chronic illness. Acutely, you can see changes in just like looking, you know, with pallor, looking ghastly, things like that, but chronic illness as well.

You know, when you used to go to the pediatrician and they would do this to look into your eyes, what they were looking for was the color of the conjunctiva. If it was white or pale, they knew you had iron deficiency. You know, when kids get hand, foot, mouth syndrome and they have a high fever, they lose their fingernails. When college students are stressed out, they lose their hair.

The body's amazing ability to tell you it's under stress is shown in the skin, hair, and nails. What it does is it says, why am I wasting energy producing something that is not necessary because I'm fighting something else? Let's just shed this. And you can tell right away.
