Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia Shows Robust T Helper 1 and Janus Kinase 3 Skewing

    Studysummary In this study, researchers observed that follicular damage and stem cell loss in frontal fibrosing alopecia may be mediated by immune attacks at the bulge region, suggesting potential for JAK/STAT-targeting treatments to prevent progression.
