Hair Regrowth in Alopecia Areata and Re-Pigmentation in Vitiligo in Response to Treatment: Commonalities and Differences

    September 2024 in “ Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology ”
    Hiroki L. Yamaguchi, Yuji Yamaguchi, Elena Peeva
    Studysummary This review explores the shared pathogenesis of alopecia areata and vitiligo and compares treatment responses, noting that hair regrowth in alopecia areata occurs more rapidly than skin re-pigmentation in vitiligo, possibly due to differences in stem cell biology and treatment effects on melanocytes.
