research Dissecting hair breakage in alopecia areata: the central role of dysregulated cysteine homeostasis
Disrupted cysteine metabolism may cause hair breakage in Alopecia Areata, suggesting potential treatments like N-acetylcysteine.
research Is seborrhoeic dermatitis associated with a diffuse, low‐grade folliculitis and progressive cicatricial alopecia?
Seborrhoeic dermatitis may cause a condition called "seborrhoeic folliculitis," leading to chronic scalp inflammation and scarring hair loss.

FAPD and possibly CCCA may be AGA subtypes, and treatments combining antiandrogens, hair growth agents, hair transplants, and anti-inflammatories could be effective.
research Pathogenic variants affecting peptidyl arginine deiminase 3 and its major substrates underlie central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia
Genetic variants in specific genes cause central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.
research Primary Follicular Dystrophy With Scarring Dermatitis in C57BL/6 Mouse Substrains Resembles Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia in Humans
Certain mouse strains develop a skin condition similar to a human hair loss disease due to genetic defects.
research Cicatricial Alopecias
Some hair loss disorders cause permanent loss due to scarring, and treatments like steroids don't always work well.
research Transitory hair growth using platelet‐rich plasma therapy in stabilized central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia
PRP therapy can temporarily grow hair in CCCA patients but isn't a permanent cure.
research Quantification of mast cells in central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia
Mast cells may significantly contribute to central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.
