Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune disorder resulting in hair loss. It has numerous variants or patterns, including diffuse type, patchy type, AA totalis, AA universalis, and more. In this graphical review, we provide an overview of AA immunopathogenesis, highlighting loss of immune privilege in the hair follicle as well as key immune cell types, cytokines and chemokines that drive autoimmune attack of the hair follicle. We also summarize recent literature identifying agents that block these pathways that could serve as new immunomodulatory treatments for AA.
斑秃(AA)是一种导致脱发的自身免疫性疾病。它有许多变体或模式,包括弥漫型、斑片状、全秃、普秃等等。在这篇图文综述中,我们概述了斑秃的免疫发病机制,强调毛囊免疫特权的丧失以及驱动毛囊自身免疫攻击的关键免疫细胞类型、细胞因子和趋化因子。我们还总结了最近的文献,这些文献确定了阻断这些途径的药物,这些药物可作为斑秃的新型免疫调节治疗方法。
