GlossaryMorphological Changes (Morphological Alterations)

alterations in the structure or form of biological entities

Morphological changes refer to alterations in the structure or form of cells, tissues, or organisms. These changes can be observed at various levels, from microscopic cellular modifications to visible changes in an organism's shape or size. In the context of hair and alopecia, morphological changes might include the thinning of hair shafts, changes in hair follicle structure, or the miniaturization of hair follicles, which can lead to hair loss.
