This study found that orally administering the CCR5 inhibitor Maraviroc improved hair loss in 4 out of 5 mice with alopecia areata and also reduced the development of the condition, evidenced by decreased CCR5+ T-cell infiltration in treated mice.

This study reports that the loss of Langerhans cells in lichen planopilaris scars may be linked to the downregulation of ITG αvβ6, which is not seen in other scar formation diseases.

This study suggests that the outer root sheath of human hair follicles may act as a "metabolic center," capable of synthesizing glucose from lactate, which supports glycogen metabolism.

This study found that Th17 lymphocytes may play a more crucial role than cytotoxic T cells in the development of alopecia areata due to their infiltration around the hair bulb/bulge, which exacerbates hair loss as histopathological grade worsens.

This study suggests that CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes play a crucial role in the development of alopecia areata, based on observations in rodent models that mimic human autoimmune disease.
