    TLDR T cells with memory features grow in number and gather around hair follicles when there are not enough immune cells.
    The study titled "Expanded T cells under lymphopenic condition exhibit memory phenotype and infiltrate around hair follicle" investigates the behavior of T cells in a lymphopenic environment. The findings reveal that these T cells adopt a memory phenotype and tend to infiltrate the area surrounding hair follicles. This suggests a potential link between immune cell behavior and hair follicle health, which could have implications for understanding conditions like alopecia.
