Alopecia Areata: Complex Roots and Potential Cures
Abstract: Autoimmunity is when the healthy organs of an individual’s body are attacked by its own immune system, leading to illness or functional abnormalities. The hair follicles (HFs) are wrongly destroyed by the immune system in a condition known as Alopecia Areata and results in chronic non-cicatricial hair loss discernible by spherical patches. It’s a severely worsening or relapsing malady that can be permanent during severe falling out of hair. In …
