February 2023 in “eLife” This study indicates that innate lymphoid cells-type 1 may provoke alopecia areata by disrupting hair follicle immune privilege and inducing characteristic lesions, challenging the view that alopecia areata is purely an autoantigen-dependent, T cell-driven condition.
This study found that innate lymphoid cells-type 1 (ILC1) can induce alopecia areata by disrupting hair follicle immune privilege without the involvement of classical CD8+ T cells.
This study found that ILC1-like cells can induce alopecia areata symptoms in both ex vivo human hair follicles and in vivo mouse models, challenging the view that alopecia areata is solely CD8+ T cell-driven.
This study found that innate lymphoid cells-type 1 (ILC1lc) can induce alopecia areata (AA) by disrupting hair follicle immune privilege and causing hair follicle dystrophy and regression in both ex vivo and in vivo settings.
August 2021 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that ILC1-like cells can induce alopecia areata in healthy human hair follicles, suggesting that these cells might be a therapeutic target in AA management.
