    rapid and excessive cell growth

    Hyperproliferation refers to the rapid and excessive growth of cells. In the context of hair and skin, it often describes conditions where skin cells or hair follicles multiply too quickly, leading to issues like psoriasis or certain types of alopecia. This abnormal cell growth can disrupt normal tissue function and lead to various health problems.

      Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

      community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

      in Research  692 upvotes 3 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.
