January 2012 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study identified chemokine receptor ligands cxcl10 and cxcl11 as new hair-specific transcriptional targets of the Eda pathway, suggesting chemokine signaling plays a role in primary hair follicle patterning.
July 2026 in “Nature Communications” This study used spatial transcriptomics to investigate T cell-hair follicle interactions in cutaneous lupus erythematosus across mice, dogs, and humans, finding that CXCR3+ T cells and B cells are enriched in lesional skin, with implications for potential therapeutic targets.
July 2025 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Discoid lupus erythematosus involves immune activation and fibrosis around hair follicles, with shared pathways across humans, dogs, and mice, suggesting potential treatments for both humans and animals.
January 2025 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study explored how T cells interact with hair follicles in primary cicatricial alopecias by using spatial transcriptomics across mice, dogs, and human samples, revealing specific communication pathways and potential drug targets like CFD and S100A8/9 for future therapeutic research.
