October 2022 in “Allergy” This study found that dupilumab treatment in alopecia areata significantly suppressed Th2-related markers and increased hair keratin levels, suggesting a potential role of Th2 cytokines in the disease's pathogenesis.
February 2024 in “Veterinary sciences” This study found that canine pemphigus foliaceus skin lesions exhibit a distinct immune signature, with upregulated pro-inflammatory and Th17-related genes, showing similarities to human pemphigus. Further research using advanced sequencing is needed to better understand the disease's pathogenesis.
