January 2026 in “Dermatology and Therapy” This study assessed the immune responses to tetanus and meningococcal vaccines in 17 patients with alopecia areata undergoing ritlecitinib therapy. Results showed that 62.5% of participants had a tetanus booster response, with all achieving protective anti-tetanus antibody levels. For the meningococcal vaccine, 20% and 40% of participants reached specific antibody titers for serogroup C. The vaccines were well tolerated, with no adverse events reported. However, the small sample size limits the conclusions, and further research with larger populations is needed.

June 2026 in “EJC Paediatric Oncology” The study focused on predicting permanent radiation-induced alopecia (RIA) in pediatric patients undergoing craniospinal irradiation (CSI) using the Pediatric Atlas-Based Scalp Segmentation Technique (PAST) and the Hair loss Outcome Prediction and Evaluation (HOPE) projects. Involving 48 pediatric patients, the study developed an atlas-based automated contouring protocol, achieving significant time efficiency and accuracy in scalp segmentation. Permanent RIA was observed in 45.8% of patients, with high-dose thiotepa and twice-daily fractionation identified as significant predictors. Dosimetric thresholds were established to aid in scalp-sparing CSI planning, highlighting the importance of radiation dose and treatment intensity in RIA development.
