TLDR Targeting IL-17 could help treat pattern hair loss.
The study published in the Benha Journal of Applied Sciences investigates the role of serum interleukin-17 (IL-17) in female-pattern baldness, reviewing various studies from Medline databases. The findings suggest that IL-17 is involved in the development and severity of pattern hair loss, indicating its potential as a therapeutic target for autoimmune and immunoinflammatory conditions. The study concludes that targeting the IL-17 pathway could be beneficial in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA).
