Alopecia areata involves both innate and adaptive immunity, with specific genes linked to the disease.

Half of people with Alopecia Areata may see hair regrowth within a year without treatment, but recovery is unpredictable.

Alopecia areata, a common autoimmune hair loss condition, often runs in families.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease where T cells attack hair follicles.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss due to the immune system attacking hair follicles, often influenced by genetics and stress.

A gluten-free diet significantly improves skin and health issues in people with dermatitis herpetiformis, a skin condition linked to celiac disease.

Men generally have more severe COVID-19 cases and higher death rates than women due to biological differences.

Alopecia areata is likely caused by a combination of genetic factors and immune system dysfunction, and may represent different diseases with various causes.

Researchers found a specific immune receptor in patients that causes severe skin reactions to a drug.

The conclusion is that individual differences in COVID-19 severity are influenced by factors like age, sex, race, and genetics, which are important for personalized medicine.

Alopecia Areata has no guaranteed treatment for hair regrowth, but options like corticosteroids and minoxidil are used, with future research focusing on genetic and immune therapies.
