July 1994 in “Journal of Cell Science” This study found that polyomavirus large T-immortalized rat dermal papilla cells retain hair-inductive ability and provide a viable model for studying hair growth and cytokine expression.
July 2026 in “The Journal of Immunology” This research developed a mouse model for alopecia areata by transferring lymph node cells from affected mice and reported that treatments with Ritlecitinib or Tacrolimus significantly improved symptoms, with Tacrolimus achieving near-complete hair regrowth.
