This study found that DNA is present at low levels in human hair shafts, with higher amounts near the root, and that its levels decrease after surfactant washing and colorant treatments.

This genome-wide association study identified several genetic markers, including specific SNPs and HLA genotypes, associated with alopecia areata susceptibility in the Taiwanese population, highlighting key pathways involved in immune response and offering insights into the genetic origins of this autoimmune condition.

This study highlights the genetic complexities in alopecia areata, emphasizing the role of microRNAs and their association with other immune-related diseases, which could inform targeted treatment strategies.

This review discusses recent advances in understanding the pathogenesis of autoimmune alopecia areata and reports no new clinical results; it highlights potential for developing more effective treatments.

In this study, researchers conducted a large genome-wide association meta-analysis and found 30 significant genetic loci linked to the risk of dermatophytosis, shedding light on the roles of keratin biology, skin barrier defects, immune dysfunction, and obesity in the disease.
