TLDR Inflammation in hair follicles is a key risk factor for developing common baldness.

The document discusses the pathogenesis of androgenetic alopecia, focusing on the role of "microinflammation" in hair follicles. This multi-stage inflammatory response involves Langerhans cells and keratinocytes presenting antigens to infiltrating T lymphocytes, leading to T cell proliferation. These antigens are then selectively destroyed by infiltrating macrophages or natural killer cells. This process is suggested to be a significant risk factor in the development of androgenetic alopecia.
