April 2021 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study suggests that rather than inhibiting IL-15, selectively stimulating IL-15Ra-mediated signaling could be beneficial for managing alopecia areata and possibly other inflammatory hair loss conditions, as IL-15 promoted hair growth and maintained immune privilege in human hair follicles.
This study found that IL18 signaling plays a crucial role in the homing and retention of mature regulatory T cells in the mouse thymus, primarily by upregulating the chemokine receptor CCR6.
November 2022 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study reported that IL-15 promotes human hair growth and protects hair follicle immune privilege, potentially stabilizing alopecia areata treatment outcomes when selectively stimulating IL-15Rα signaling.
August 2021 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that ILC1-like cells can induce alopecia areata in healthy human hair follicles, suggesting that these cells might be a therapeutic target in AA management.

,
February 2023 in “eLife” This study indicates that innate lymphoid cells-type 1 may provoke alopecia areata by disrupting hair follicle immune privilege and inducing characteristic lesions, challenging the view that alopecia areata is purely an autoantigen-dependent, T cell-driven condition.
June 2022 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study provides evidence that innate lymphoid cells-type 1 can induce alopecia areata in human hair follicles, challenging the view that it is solely a CD8+ T cell-driven autoimmune disease.
July 2022 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study suggests that interleukin-15 plays a complex role in alopecia areata, potentially contributing to immune infiltration while also protecting against hair follicle immune privilege collapse and promoting hair growth.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that DC-HIL+ myeloid derived suppressor cells are increased in the blood and skin of patients with cutaneous lupus erythematosus and show immunosuppressive properties.
3 citations
,
September 2024 in “Experimental Dermatology” This study found elevated levels of IL-18 and free IL-18 in hidradenitis suppurativa patients compared to healthy controls, suggesting these cytokines may serve as novel biomarkers for disease activity, with correlations indicating their involvement in disease severity.
38 citations
,
March 1997 in “Journal of interferon & cytokine research” This study suggests that IL-1β produced by dermal papilla cells, regulated by protein kinase C, may inhibit human hair follicle growth through paracrine signaling.
1 citations
,
April 2024 in “Journal of Autoimmunity” This study found that rhIL-15 promotes human hair follicle growth and regrowth in experimental settings and may have therapeutic potential for alopecia areata by restoring immune privilege guardianship.
14 citations
,
September 2006 in “Experimental Dermatology” This study suggests that interleukin-1 α influences dermal papilla cell activity by modifying androgen receptor expression and increasing the secretion of several growth factors and cytokines.

,
August 2021 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” ASLAN004 was safe and well-tolerated, supporting further development for treating certain diseases.
2 citations
,
February 2024 in “Medicine” In this study, researchers found that the rs3118470 mutation in the IL2RA gene significantly increases the risk of developing alopecia areata, and they emphasize the need for future research with larger, more diverse populations to validate these results.
April 2023 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study found that in immunodeficient mice lacking T cells, certain innate lymphoid cell subsets increased and influenced the hair growth cycle, with specific ILC subsets shown to promote anagen, the active phase of hair growth.
September 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study suggests that in alopecia areata, innate lymphoid cells type 1 may contribute to the disease’s pathogenesis by inducing hair follicle changes similarly to CD8+ T cells.

April 2016 in “British journal of dermatology/British journal of dermatology, Supplement” This article reviews the role of IL-17 in inflammatory skin disorders and highlights its potential therapeutic targeting in both neutrophilic and lymphocyte-mediated conditions, reporting no new experimental results.
January 2015 in “ScholarlyCommons (University of Pennsylvania)” This study discovered that DNA damage independently induces IL-19 and IL-24 cytokines, which regulate senescence-associated secretory phenotype factors, suggesting potential pathways for treating cancer and age-related diseases.
April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” RNase L suppresses regeneration in mammals.
April 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that blocking LFA-1 signaling completely prevented the development of alopecia areata in C3H/HeJ mice, suggesting that LFA-1 plays a crucial role in the disease's pathogenesis and could be a target for new therapies.
