This case report describes a nine-year-old girl with juvenile dermatomyositis and alopecia areata, suggesting a possible etiological link between these coexisting immune-mediated diseases, a previously unreported association.

This study found significant associations between certain MICA variants and haplotypes with alopecia areata, suggesting MICA as a potential candidate gene linked to the disease's susceptibility and severity.

In this study, mouse models with EGFR deficiency showed that disrupted hair follicle cycling leads to increased mast cell numbers and inflammation, suggesting EGFR's role in managing hair cycle transitions and preventing folliculitis.

This study found that haploinsufficiency of SPINK5 can lead to Netherton syndrome when a single null mutation combines with homozygous G1258A polymorphisms, suggesting it acts as a genuine mutation affecting LEKTI function.

This study found that immune privilege is preserved in hair follicles of nonsegmental vitiligo patients compared to those with alopecia areata, potentially protecting follicular melanocytes from autoimmune attacks.
