    GlossaryNon-Lesional Control

    sample from unaffected area used for comparison in studies

    Non-Lesional Control (NLC) refers to a sample of tissue or skin that is taken from an area not affected by a disease or condition, used as a baseline or comparison in scientific studies. In the context of hair and alopecia research, NLC samples are often compared to lesional samples (affected areas) to understand the differences and underlying mechanisms of the condition.
