May 2016 in “Nature communications” This study found that mouse skin CD4(+) memory T cells are in equilibrium with the circulation under steady state but increase in specific clusters in response to infection or inflammation.
In this study, researchers found that CD4 T cells from the skin draining lymph nodes of mice with alopecia areata can transfer the disease to recipient mice, highlighting the key role of these cells and their interaction with CD8 T cells in the disease's development.
October 2025 in “Science Advances” In this study, researchers demonstrated that CD4 T cells from skin-draining lymph nodes in mice with alopecia areata can transfer the disease to recipient mice, revealing a critical role for CD4 T cells in disease development and suggesting potential therapeutic targets.

June 2024 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study demonstrated that in mice, the absence of Jagged-1 expression in skin-resident regulatory T cells significantly delays wound healing by reducing the accumulation of neutrophils, highlighting the role of Jagged-1 in coordinating immune cell recruitment during injury.
April 2023 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study analyzed blood samples from individuals with alopecia areata and found that NKG2D+ immune cells, particularly memory-like NK cells, may better correlate with disease activity compared to CD8+ cells, though significant variability among individuals complicates these findings.
September 2017 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study found that orally administering the CCR5 inhibitor Maraviroc improved hair loss in 4 out of 5 mice with alopecia areata and also reduced the development of the condition, evidenced by decreased CCR5+ T-cell infiltration in treated mice.
14 citations
,
March 2014 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” In this study, symmetrical acrokeratoderma was observed to frequently occur alongside ichthyosis vulgaris, with no specific therapy available for the condition.
This study found that chronic UVR exposure in mice and humans leads to a permanent loss of papillary fibroblasts in the upper dermis, which is associated with changes in the extracellular matrix.
This study found that the loss of papillary fibroblasts in the skin due to UV radiation is mainly caused by an uncontrolled inflammatory response, with T cells helping fibroblast survival.
1 citations
,
June 2020 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” In this study, researchers identified unique prenatal lymphocyte features in human fetal skin, including proliferative naive T cells and memory-like T cells, which may influence antigen and allergen responses in utero and infancy.
This study found that UV radiation-induced fibroblast depletion in the skin is primarily due to a deregulated inflammatory response, with T cells aiding fibroblast survival under stress.
