    systematic arrangement of organisms based on shared traits

    Classification in biology refers to the systematic arrangement of living organisms into categories based on shared characteristics and genetic relationships. This hierarchical system, which includes levels such as kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species, helps scientists organize and understand the diversity of life, including the study of hair and conditions like alopecia.

      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.

      Hair loss varies due to genetic sensitivity to DHT and other factors. Treatments discussed include finasteride, minoxidil, RU58841, and microneedling.
