October 2021 in “Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology” This report describes two cases where a viral vector COVID-19 vaccine was associated with the recurrence of cutaneous lymphoma conditions that had been in remission.
May 2023 in “The Journal of Immunology” In this study of C3H/HeJ mice, researchers observed that alopecia areata is associated with the expansion of exhausted-memory CD8 T cells in multiple organs, with autoreactive activation not fully explained by known mechanisms, shedding light on the immunological dynamics underlying the condition.
March 2026 in “Journal of Clinical Oncology” In this study, pre-treatment with 5-α-reductase inhibitors (finasteride/dutasteride) in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma was associated with better immune checkpoint inhibitor effectiveness and improved progression-free and overall survival, without increasing severe side effects.
