    Glossary Immunological Factors

    components of the immune system that defend against threats

    Immunological factors, also known as immune factors, refer to components of the immune system that play a role in defending the body against infections, diseases, and foreign substances. These include various cells (like T-cells and B-cells), antibodies, cytokines, and other molecules that identify and neutralize harmful agents. In the context of hair and alopecia, immunological factors can influence conditions like alopecia areata, where the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, leading to hair loss.
