research Scalp Microbiome Alterations in Androgenetic Alopecia: Patterns and Emerging Mechanistic Insights
In this study, researchers observed that patients with androgenetic alopecia show differences in scalp microbial communities compared to the general population, including an increase in Cutibacterium acnes, particularly in males, which may interact with lipid and immune pathways to contribute to hair follicle miniaturization.
