Did you mean Lymphocyte Infiltration?

GlossaryLymphocyte Infiltration

process where white blood cells accumulate in tissue

Lymphocyte infiltration refers to the process where lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, move into and accumulate in a specific tissue or organ. This often occurs in response to infection, inflammation, or autoimmune conditions, where the immune system targets the body's own cells. In the context of alopecia, lymphocyte infiltration can lead to hair follicle damage, contributing to hair loss.
