January 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.

April 2026 in “Laboratory Animal Research” Researchers have developed a novel Hairless Rag2/Jak3 KO mice model, known as Hairless R/J mice, optimized for in vivo imaging. These mice are hairless and lack T, B, and NK cell phenotypes, making them ideal for non-invasive observation of molecular behavior. Compared to traditional Nude mice, Hairless R/J mice have thinner skin and superior optical properties, enhancing imaging capabilities. The model was tested using green fluorescent beads and mCherry-expressing human cholangiocarcinoma cells, as well as Ihara cells for live imaging of tumor growth. This new model is expected to be a valuable tool for noninvasive tumor monitoring and evaluating anticancer therapies.
