May 2022 in “The journal of immunology/The Journal of immunology” In vivo using the C3H mouse model, this study observed that BST2 expression occurs before hair loss in alopecia areata and is followed by an increase in epidermal γδ T cell numbers.
February 2024 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study found that tissue damage in adult mice triggers the release of mitochondrial DNA, which activates the TLR9 pathway and influences hair regeneration by recruiting gamma delta T cells, ultimately affecting healing outcomes such as fibrosis.
July 2026 in “The Journal of Immunology” This study observed that in both mouse and human models of alopecia areata, T cells exhibit a stress response involving heat shock proteins and other regulatory markers, suggesting their potential as targets for therapeutic intervention in this autoimmune skin disease.
