May 2023 in “Dermatology Research and Practice” This study observed that patients with alopecia areata had significantly higher serum levels of IL-15 and TNF-α compared to controls, with TNF-α levels particularly elevated in individuals with alopecia totalis, though these biomarkers were not influenced by disease duration or activity.
April 2026 in “Dermatology and Therapy” This study reviews the efficacy and safety of advanced therapies like TNFα inhibitors and IL-17/IL-23 inhibitors for dissecting cellulitis of the scalp, finding TNFα inhibitors particularly effective for severe or refractory cases, although prospective validation is needed for early intervention benefits.
January 2023 in “Indian Dermatology Online Journal” This review discusses the role of the JAK/STAT pathway in managing alopecia areata and emphasizes the need for further research to determine the ideal JAK inhibitor, as it reports no new clinical results.
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.
March 2021 in “International Journal of Clinical Dermatology & Research” Dupilumab can help regrow hair in alopecia areata but stopping it may cause hair loss again.
January 2012 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Small molecule DMF improves psoriasis and multiple sclerosis, adult skin cells can be made to grow new hair, certain skin cells initiate hair growth, IL-17C controls gut health and can cause skin inflammation, and skin cells produce IL-17 that can lead to psoriasis.
