20 citations
,
June 2010 in “Genes and Immunity” Blood tests can help understand the genetic differences in people with alopecia areata, including how severe it is and if it's inherited.
December 2022 in “Siriraj Medical Journal” The COVID-19 pandemic led to fewer patient visits, more visits by older adults, an increase in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma cases, and a rise in noncosmetic procedures at a dermatology clinic.

January 1995 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” RU58841, a substance from France, can potentially block the effects of hormones that cause hair loss and excessive hair growth, performing better than a similar substance, cyproterone acetate.
12 citations
,
November 2014 in “PLOS Computational Biology” The study concluded that hair growth in mice is regulated by a stable interaction between skin cell types, and disrupting this can cause hair loss.
