Abstract
The C3H/HeJ model has long dominated basic alopecia areata (AA) in vivo research and has been used as proof-of-principle that Jak inhibitors are suitable agents for AA management in vivo. However, its histologic features are not typical of human AA, and it is questionable whether it is sufficiently clinically predictive for evaluating the therapeutic effects of candidate AA agents. Instead, the humanized mouse model of AA has been used to functionally demonstrate the role of key immune cells in AA pathogenesis and to discover human-specific pharmacologic targets in AA management. Therefore, we advocate the use of both models in future preclinical AA research.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings (JIDSP) publishes peer-reviewed, invited papers relevant to all aspects of cutaneous biology and skin disease. Papers in the JIDSP are often initially presented at a scientific meeting. Potential topics include biochemistry, biophysics, carcinogenesis, cellular growth and regulation, clinical research, development, epidemiology and other population-based research, extracellular matrix, genetics, immunology, melanocyte biology, microbiology, molecular and cell biology, pathology, pharmacology and percutaneous absorption, photobiology, physiology, and skin structure.
