In this study, the researchers used a human hair follicle model to demonstrate that T cell stimulation can induce an alopecia areata–like phenotype, with cell proliferation and immune privilege collapse; however, the DHODH inhibitor farudodstat partially mitigated these effects by reducing T cell proliferation.
December 2024 in “JDDG Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft” In this case report, researchers observed hair regrowth in a patient with alopecia universalis and psoriasis after treatment with deucravacitinib, a TYK2 inhibitor, though they note spontaneous regrowth cannot be ruled out and suggest further controlled studies to evaluate its effects on alopecia areata.
February 2023 in “Cosmoderma” This study found that combining red light therapy with oral beta-carotene significantly improved photoaging treatment outcomes compared to red light therapy alone, with Group A showing a 56.12% reduction in photoaging scores over 12 weeks versus 44.78% in Group B.
