Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease targeted at hair follicles with infiltrated T lymphocytes probably playing an important role in the pathogenesis."5.32Topical mechlorethamine restores autoimmune-arrested follicular activity in mice with an alopecia areata-like disease by targeting infiltrated lymphocytes. ( Bernardo, O; Cao, L; Chen, Y; Chung, S; Lui, H; Shapiro, J; Sundberg, JP; Tang, L, 2003)
"Alopecia areata is regarded as a tissue-restricted autoimmune disease of hair follicles in which follicular activity is arrested because of the continued activity of lymphocytic infiltrates."2.42Old wine in new bottles: reviving old therapies for alopecia areata using rodent models. ( Lui, H; Shapiro, J; Sundberg, JP; Tang, L, 2003)
"Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease targeted at hair follicles with infiltrated T lymphocytes probably playing an important role in the pathogenesis."1.32Topical mechlorethamine restores autoimmune-arrested follicular activity in mice with an alopecia areata-like disease by targeting infiltrated lymphocytes. ( Bernardo, O; Cao, L; Chen, Y; Chung, S; Lui, H; Shapiro, J; Sundberg, JP; Tang, L, 2003)
"Its efficacy in treating alopecia areata was reported in an uncontrolled study."1.32Topical nitrogen mustard in the treatment of alopecia areata: a bilateral comparison study. ( Bernardo, O; Lui, H; Shapiro, J; Tang, L, 2003)
"Systemic symptoms of Hodgkin's disease were present for 6 months, and rapidly developing patchy hair loss of the scalp was present for 2 weeks prior to presentation."1.28Simultaneously occurring alopecia areata and Hodgkin's lymphoma: complete remission of both diseases with MOPP/ABV chemotherapy. ( Berk, MA; Chan, PD; Kucuk, O; Singh, S, 1992)
