This review identifies shared interferon gamma-driven immune pathways in vitiligo and alopecia areata, revealing potential targets for new treatments, but reports no clinical results.

In this observational study, SOX10 was expressed in 53 out of 81 examined hair follicles in patients with alopecia areata and showed a significant positive relation with the perifollicular lymphocytic infiltrate, suggesting that melanocytes may play a role in the disease's autoimmune pathogenesis.

This study examined the relationship between thyroid autoimmunity and alopecia areata in patients aged 2-65 and found no statistically significant association, despite a notable correlation between anti-TPO levels and disease duration.

In this review, researchers discussed the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties of metformin and hypothesized that its topical application could benefit those with alopecia areata, given its effects on immune pathways, hair regrowth, and autoimmune disease management.

This article discusses the role of regulatory T cells in alopecia areata, where their deficiency in hair follicles may lead to impaired local immunity and suggests potential therapies like CAR-T reg cells and low-dose IL-2 to alleviate autoimmunity and promote hair regeneration in affected individuals.
