January 2008 in “Bradford Scholars (University of Bradford)” This study supports that an antibody response against anagen-specific hair follicle antigens, including trichohyalin and keratin 16, may play a role in alopecia areata.
In this study, patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and generalized non-scarring alopecia exhibited hair loss similar to telogen effluvium, with significant changes observed in the cuticle of telogen hairs.
Corticosteroids and topical irritants are used to treat alopecia areata.
August 2026 in “Frontiers in Immunology” This study introduces Immunoguided Cutaneous Regeneration as a potential framework for understanding skin allotransplantation, suggesting that regeneration may depend on the preserved extracellular matrix and a regulated immune response.
