research Alopecia Areata: Clinical Perspective and an Insight into Pathogenesis
Alopecia areata causes hair loss due to an immune attack on hair follicles, influenced by genetics and environment.
research Carriers of 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency Are Not at Increased Risk for Hyperandrogenism
People who carry the 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency gene are not more likely to have excessive male hormone levels.
research Early Stage Alopecia Areata Is Associated With Inflammation in the Upper Dermis and Damage to the Hair Follicle Infundibulum
Early stage bald spots are linked to skin inflammation and damage to the upper part of the hair follicle.
research Abstracts
Mice treatments didn't grow hair, a patient treatment may affect immune response, and people with hair loss often feel anxious or depressed.
research Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia and Lichen Planopilaris in HLA-Identical Mother and Daughter
A mother and daughter with similar hair loss conditions and identical HLA types suggest a genetic link between the conditions.
research Joint Study of the Associations of HLA-B and the Transmembrane Short Tandem Repeat Polymorphism of MICA Protein with Alopecia Areata Shows Independent Associations of Both with the Disease
Both HLA-B and MICA are independently linked to alopecia areata.
research HLA-B27 Antigen in Women With Ankylosing Spondylitis
Most women with ankylosing spondylitis tested positive for HLA-B27, suggesting it's useful for diagnosis.
research Changes in Populations of HLA-DR+CD3+ Cells and CD57–CD16+ Cells in Alopecia Areata After Corticosteroid Therapy
Corticosteroid therapy reduces specific immune cells and promotes hair growth in alopecia areata patients.
research Alopecia Areata After HLA-Identical Bone Marrow Transplant from an Affected Sibling Donor
Alopecia areata can be transferred through stem cell transplants from affected siblings.
research Significance of HLA-DR+ T Cells and Natural Killer Cells in the Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes of Alopecia Areata
Severe alopecia areata involves higher levels of certain immune cells, which can be normalized with betamethasone.
research Expression of HLA-DR in Hair Follicles in Alopecia Areata
research Alopecia Areata Update
Half of people with Alopecia Areata may see hair regrowth within a year without treatment, but recovery is unpredictable.
research Familial Aggregation of Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata, a common autoimmune hair loss condition, often runs in families.
research Alopecia Areata: A Tissue-Specific Autoimmune Disease of the Hair Follicle
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss due to the immune system attacking hair follicles, often influenced by genetics and stress.

research What’s Sex Got to Do With COVID-19? Gender-Based Differences in the Host Immune Response to Coronaviruses
Men generally have more severe COVID-19 cases and higher death rates than women due to biological differences.
research Identification of Drug-Specific Public TCR Driving Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reactions
Researchers found a specific immune receptor in patients that causes severe skin reactions to a drug.
research Alopecia Areata: Clinical Review and Treatment Approaches
Alopecia Areata has no guaranteed treatment for hair regrowth, but options like corticosteroids and minoxidil are used, with future research focusing on genetic and immune therapies.
research Alopecia Areata Update
Despite progress in treatment, the exact cause of Alopecia areata is still unknown.
research The Spectrum of Hair Loss in Patients with Mycosis Fungoides and Sézary Syndrome
Some patients with mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome experience hair loss, which may be similar to alopecia areata or linked to skin lesions, possibly due to abnormal T cells, and bexarotene can help treat it.

Thymic transplantation normalized some T-cells but not others, maintaining immune function.
research Alopecia Areata Patients Show Deficiency of FOXP3+CD39+ T Regulatory Cells and Clonotypic Restriction of Treg TCRβ-Chain, Highlighting the Immunopathological Aspect of the Disease
Patients with Alopecia areata have fewer specific immune cells that normally regulate the immune system, which may contribute to the condition.
