April 2021 in “International journal of molecular sciences” This study found that human hematopoietic mesenchymal stem cells increased the viability and migration of human outer root sheath cells in an in vitro alopecia areata model, involving Wnt/β-catenin and JAK/STAT pathways.
July 2026 in “The Journal of Immunology” This study in a murine model of alopecia areata found that IFNg is crucial while perforin is not necessary for CD8 T cell-mediated disease development.

December 2018 in “International journal of environmental research and public health/International journal of environmental research and public health” This study observed that Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) can inhibit phosphorylation of STAT1 and reduce a specific subset of immune cells in vitro and ex vivo, suggesting a potential role in maintaining immune privilege in alopecia areata.

December 2006 in “Journal of experimental animal science” This study found that injecting interferon gamma into C3H/HeJ mice did not alter the frequency or onset of alopecia areata, suggesting the protein alone does not trigger the disease.
