November 2023 in “iScience” In this study, researchers found that disrupting desmoglein 3 signaling in a mouse model of pemphigus vulgaris activates normally quiescent hair follicle stem cells, compromising their multipotency but prompting a regenerative response that restores stem cell function and structures.
April 2026 in “Frontiers in Immunology” This study concluded that the CXCL12–CXCR4 signaling pathway significantly contributes to hair loss in androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata by promoting inflammation and fibrosis, whereas inhibiting this pathway can restore hair growth and follicle health.
January 2026 in “International Research Journal of Modernization in Engineering Technology and Science” This review outlines the existing understanding of alopecia areata, detailing its autoimmune nature, clinical presentation, histology, and management strategies, with corticosteroids highlighted as the most popular treatment option.

November 2025 in “Frontiers in Medicine” In this prospective cohort, baseline severity, disease activity, and relapse history were identified as key factors influencing response and recurrence in alopecia areata, suggesting that implementing standardized assessments could enhance risk stratification and personalized care approaches.
October 2025 in “Dermatology Practical & Conceptual” This review discusses different types of alopecia associated with psoriasis and highlights that hair loss in psoriasis is typically non-scarring and reversible, while also noting the increased risk of alopecia areata in these patients.
September 2025 in “Journal of Skin and Stem Cell” This study found that combining topical calcipotriol with intralesional autologous PRP injection significantly reduced Severity of Alopecia Tool scores in patients with alopecia areata, more effectively than either treatment alone.
September 2025 in “Journal of Clinical Medicine” This study found that patients with vitiligo and alopecia areata had significantly higher serum granulysin levels compared to healthy controls, indicating a potential pathogenic role and suggesting that elevated levels may serve as a biomarker for monitoring disease activity, particularly in active vitiligo cases.
September 2025 in “Ankara Universitesi Eczacilik Fakultesi Dergisi” This study analyzed the therapeutic potential of various plant species for alopecia areata treatment, highlighting their possible benefits due to anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, though more research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms involved.
July 2025 in “International Journal of Dermatology Venereology and Leprosy Sciences” In this review, researchers examined the concentration of cortisol in scalp hair of individuals with alopecia areata to explore its relationship with disease variables, as cortisol in hair can indicate chronic stress, which may impact alopecia areata pathogenesis.
In this study, researchers found that CD4 T cells from the skin draining lymph nodes of mice with alopecia areata can transfer the disease to recipient mice, highlighting the key role of these cells and their interaction with CD8 T cells in the disease's development.
January 2025 in “Universidad de Córdoba Insitutional Repository (Universidad de Córdoba)” In this study, researchers observed that individuals with alopecia areata exhibited significant changes in scalp microbiota diversity and composition, which were linked to disease severity and inflammation markers, though it remains unclear if these microbial shifts are a cause or a result of hair loss.
October 2024 in “Journal of Education Health and Sport” This article reviews treatment options for Alopecia Areata, concluding that topical corticosteroids are effective for mild cases, while systemic therapies are advised for moderate to severe cases.
