This study found that certain C57BL/6 mouse substrains have a genetic vulnerability to skin lesions resembling central centrifugal cicatrical alopecia in humans, potentially worsened by high vitamin A levels.

This review suggests that hair transplantation may be a viable treatment option for certain primary scarring alopecias, although findings should be interpreted cautiously due to possible publication bias favoring positive results.
