This study reports a strong association between the MICA locus, specifically the MICA∗3-DR∗6-DQ6 haplotype, and Alopecia Areata in families.

This study found that treatment with EGFR inhibitors or mitogen-activated kinase inhibitors may compromise the immune privilege of human scalp hair follicles, suggesting new directions for managing drug-induced folliculitis.

This research suggests that innate lymphoid cells type 1 (ILC1) may contribute to the development of alopecia areata, alongside CD8+ T cells, by disrupting hair follicle immune privilege and promoting features of the disease.

This study found that miR-486 and miR-451 levels were reduced in alopecia areata-affected skin, and delivering their mimics to mice mitigated symptoms by reducing inflammation and immune activity.

This study suggests that the neuropeptide CGRP may protect against, but not restore, IFNγ-induced collapse of hair follicle immune privilege in alopecia areata.
