7 citations
,
October 2023 in “Journal of Intelligent & Fuzzy Systems” This study proposed and tested an Ensemble Pre-Learned Deep Learning and Optimized Long Short-Term Memory (EPL-OLSTM) model for classifying Alopecia Areata, achieving a 93.1% accuracy in differentiating healthy from varying severity levels of AA scalp hair using specific datasets.
May 2026 in “Open Science Framework” This study conducted an in silico evaluation of Korean herbal compounds against key targets involved in androgenetic alopecia, finding Biochanin A, Saponin Re, and Emodin as promising candidates for topical treatments, but highlighting safety and topical formulation challenges.
24 citations
,
April 2007 in “European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics” This study found that artocarpin delivered via alginate/chitosan microparticles effectively suppressed the growth of hamster flank organs compared to artocarpin in solution form, without significant systemic effects.
2 citations
,
July 2021 in “UNC Libraries” This study suggests that residues Val-889 and Arg-752 in the androgen receptor's steroid binding domain are crucial for NH2-/carboxyl-terminal interaction, affecting receptor stability and function.
5 citations
,
May 2025 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” In this study, researchers observed that alopecia areata patients showed higher Th1 and Th2 responses against specific melanogenesis-related protein epitopes, suggesting a role in disease activity and potential targets for diagnostics and therapies.

,
August 2025 in “JDDG Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft” This population-based study found a significant association between alopecia areata and autoimmune thyroid diseases, including Hashimoto's and Graves' disease, confirming a higher prevalence of these conditions in individuals with alopecia areata.
December 2025 in “International Journal of Dermatology” This systematic review reported that while combining low-dose oral minoxidil with Janus kinase inhibitors may enhance treatment outcomes in alopecia areata, the evidence remains weak due to limited sample sizes and potential publication bias, and more rigorous trials are necessary to assess efficacy and safety.
3 citations
,
November 2017 in “PubMed” This study found that individuals with alopecia areata experience variations in cortisol and insulin levels and adaptive mechanism pressures, which may serve as potential therapeutic targets.
October 2021 in “Book Publisher International (a part of SCIENCEDOMAIN International)” This study explored a new treatment for Alopecia Areata, combining high negative pressure microdermabrasion with intralesional steroid injections, and compared its effects to steroid injections alone, although the abstract does not report specific outcomes.
March 2026 in “JID Innovations” In a mouse model study, researchers found that mutations in Aire reduced alopecia areata frequency, while Notch4 mutations did not lead to the disease, likely due to proximity with a resistance gene.
