Global Vitiligo Foundation founding member Dr. John E. Harris, MD, PhD delivered an informative presentation at the recent VIS 2020 titled, “Advances in Immune Mechanisms of Vitiligo.” His presentation covered recent advances in understanding the immune mechanisms of vitiligo, which are leading to new treatments for the disease. Current strategies include inhibiting T cell function and migration to the skin, as well as long-term survival of autoreactive memory T cells. As he explains, an advanced understanding of cellular signaling within vitiligo lesions may lead to more advanced therapeutic approaches in the future.
