title = "Treatment of Alopecia Areata with Simvastatin/Ezetimibe",
abstract = "Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by T lymphocytic infiltrates around the bulbar region of hair follicles. Statins have surfaced as potential therapeutic agents for AA, partly because of their modulation of the JAK/STAT pathway. Some data indicate that statins are a possible option for acute, but not chronic, longstanding AA. Animal studies suggest that treatment with statins increases CD4+/CD25+/Foxp3+ populations in AA-affected mice.",
