research Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia: Retrospective Chart Review
The study found that Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia mainly affects middle-aged African descent women, is linked to certain hair care practices and genetics, and often goes undiagnosed for years.
research Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: A Review
Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia's cause is unclear, affects mainly postmenopausal women, and current treatments focus on stopping hair loss rather than regrowth.
research Immunology of alopecia areata
Alopecia areata, a type of hair loss, is likely an autoimmune disease with a genetic link, but its exact cause is still unknown.
research Predicting hair cortisol levels with hair pigmentation genes: a possible hair pigmentation bias
Darker hair may lead to higher cortisol readings, suggesting a need to adjust for hair color in studies.
