    TLDR The role of γδT-cells in causing alopecia areata remains unclear.
    The study investigated the role of circulating γδT-cells in alopecia areata (AA), involving 6 patients with AA and 3 healthy donors. The study aimed to understand the cytotoxic and skin migratory abilities of these cells and their potential to promote AA due to a lack of self-tolerance. However, the document does not provide any conclusions or significant findings from the study, leaving the role of γδT-cells in AA unclear.
