    GlossaryInflammatory Infiltrate

    accumulation of immune cells in inflamed tissue

    Inflammatory infiltrate refers to the accumulation of immune cells, such as lymphocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils, in a tissue where inflammation is occurring. This process is the body's response to injury, infection, or other harmful stimuli, and it can be observed under a microscope as a dense collection of these cells within the affected tissue.

      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.
