TNF-α acts by interfering with the hair follicle cycle, but its mechanism could be paradoxical since it could inhibit the overexpression of MHC class I molecules in the hair follicle, as well as suppress the development of PDCs responsible for the coordination of T-cells CD4+, CD8+ and NK cells in the establishment of alopecia areata [1]. Here, TNF is linked to alopecia areata.
