This study describes previously unknown immune characteristics of the normal human nail, highlighting its similarities to the hair follicle immune system and suggesting an immune privilege in the proximal nail matrix that both provides autoimmunity protection and presents infection susceptibility.

This study found that RANKL signaling enhances CD8+ T cell-mediated anti-viral immunity during herpes simplex virus infection by preventing apoptosis of Langerhans cells, suggesting potential therapeutic applications.

This study demonstrated that transcutaneous vaccination via cyanoacrylate skin surface stripping effectively induced both CD4 and CD8 T cell responses in humans, offering a promising alternative to intramuscular injection.

In this study, transcutaneously applied nanoparticles and viral vectors were shown to penetrate murine hair follicles, internalize in antigen-presenting cells, and induce immune responses, suggesting a promising approach for vaccine delivery.

This study found that allergen treatment in alopecia areata mice appeared to alter leukocyte subset distribution and impaired dendritic cell migration, which may affect T-cell activation and hair follicle recovery.
