July 2026 in “British Journal of Dermatology” This study found that patients with alopecia areata have lower levels of sCD83, a protein which, when supplemented in a mouse model, reversed disease symptoms and supported regulatory T cell proliferation, possibly by interacting with IDO activity.
April 2010 in “Cancer Research” This study found significant upregulation of IDO-1 and IDO-2 in human basal cell carcinomas, suggesting that IDO production may confer immune privilege characteristics to the tumors, potentially impacting their growth.
June 2026 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study reported that the anti-γc antibody hC2 restored hair follicle homeostasis and suppressed hair loss in an AA-like mouse model by inhibiting autoreactive T-cell activity, suggesting that hC2 may offer a safer and more effective treatment for alopecia areata compared to current Jak inhibitors.

December 2001 in “American Journal of Dermatopathology” This study found that trichoblastomas and nodular basal cell carcinomas have similar cytokeratin expression patterns, indicating differentiation towards the outer root sheath epithelium.
September 2024 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” In this study, γδTregs showed potential as a cell-based therapy for alopecia areata by preventing hair loss and promoting hair regrowth in humanized AA models.
November 2022 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that "early" transit amplifying cells, marked by CD271, are the first keratinocyte stem cell progenitors with distinct features, playing a significant role in early epidermal differentiation and regeneration.

December 2023 in “Aging” In liver cancer cells, this study found that upregulating hsa_circ_0002980 inhibits cell proliferation, metastasis, and EMT by modulating the miR-1303/CADM2 axis, suggesting it as a potential therapeutic target.
September 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that in chronic alopecia areata, increased IL-17 expression and CD8+CD49a-Trm cell infiltration in hair follicles were associated with more severe histopathologic gradings, while Foxp3+mTreg infiltration decreased.
