Distribution of Growth Factors and Cytokines in Hair Follicles and Their Microenvironment in Normal and Alopecia Areata Conditions

The study by Ю. А. Фомченко investigated the distribution of growth factors and cytokines in hair follicles and their microenvironment under normal conditions and in cases of alopecia areata. It was found that there were significant differences in the presence and distribution of these biological molecules between healthy hair follicles and those affected by alopecia areata. The research suggested that these differences could play a role in the pathogenesis of alopecia areata, potentially offering targets for therapeutic intervention. However, the document did not specify the number of participants involved in the study.
