    Glossarycategorization

    process of organizing items into groups based on similarities

    Categorization is the process of organizing items or information into groups based on shared characteristics or criteria. For example, in biology, categorizing different types of hair loss (alopecia) helps in diagnosing and treating the condition more effectively. This methodical grouping allows both laypeople and professionals to understand and manage complex information systematically.

      Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

      community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

      in Research  692 upvotes 4 months ago
      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
