research Novel Potential Therapeutic Targets of Alopecia Areata
New treatments for hair loss from alopecia areata may include targeting immune cells, using stem cells, balancing gut bacteria, applying fatty acids, and using JAK inhibitors.
research Proceedings of the Ninth World Congress for Hair Research 2015
The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
research Innate Lymphoid Cells Type 1 May Be New, Non-Antigen-Specific Player in the Pathogenesis of Alopecia Areata
Innate lymphoid cells type 1 may contribute to alopecia areata by damaging hair follicles.
research Mouse Models of Alopecia Areata: C3H/HeJ Mice Versus the Humanized AA Mouse Model
The humanized AA mouse model is better for testing new alopecia areata treatments.
research Frontiers in Alopecia Areata Pathobiology Research
The review suggests that other immune cells besides CD8+ T cells may contribute to alopecia areata and that targeting regulatory cell defects could improve treatment.
