research Oxidative Stress and Alopecia Areata
This review discusses the association between oxidative stress and alopecia areata while proposing antioxidants as a potential supplementary therapy, but it reports no new clinical results.
research Understanding Immune Privilege in an Inducible Mouse Model of Primary Cicatricial Alopecia
This study reports that CD200R expression is significantly reduced in an experimental mouse model of scarring alopecia, suggesting a potential role for this pathway in immune regulation and hair follicle protection.
research Familial Aggregation of Alopecia Areata
This review examines the immunological aspects of alopecia areata, focusing on genetic, neuroimmunological, and immune privilege factors, but does not report new clinical findings.
research Current Status of Treatments for Alopecia Areata
This article reviews alopecia areata treatment strategies, noting that while various therapies exist, none are curative or preventive and many lack randomized, controlled trials.
research The Role of Hair Follicle Immune Privilege Collapse in Alopecia Areata: Status and Perspectives
This article proposes that alopecia areata may be caused by immune attacks on hair follicles after an immune privilege collapse, suggesting new therapeutic approaches targeting this immune response pattern.
research The Immunopathobiology of Lichen Planopilaris
The study suggests that immune privilege collapse in bulge cells and the involvement of pro-inflammatory cytokine interferon-γ contribute to hair follicle stem cell loss in lichen planopilaris.
research Does Collapse of Immune Privilege in the Hair-Follicle Bulge Play a Role in the Pathogenesis of Primary Cicatricial Alopecia?
This study reports that in primary cicatricial alopecias, increased expression of certain immune markers in the hair-follicle bulge suggests a collapse of immune privilege, which may contribute to follicle destruction.
research Alopecia Areata: A Tissue-Specific Autoimmune Disease of the Hair Follicle
This review discusses alopecia areata as a model for studying tissue-directed autoimmune diseases and reports no new clinical findings.
