Alopecia areata (AA) is a type of non-scarring hair loss. While the exact cause is not fully understood, new insights in disease understanding suggest an autoimmune pathology. The inflammatory pathways associated with AA destroy most of the hair follicle but spare the upper portion, giving rise to the possibility of hair regrowth and new targeted treatments that may improve patient outcomes. Therefore, staying up to date on current and emerging data for AA treatments is necessary to enhance comprehension of AA pathophysiology, assess patients, and inform potential treatment targets.
In the first installment of this three-part virtual Journal Club series, More Than Hair Loss: Understanding the Role the Immune System Plays in Developing Alopecia Areata and Its Treatment Implications, Dr. Emma Guttman-Yassky will present up-to-date information on the pathophysiology and specific immunologic pathways that affect AA.
At the end of this CME/CE activity, participants should be able to outline the pathophysiology of AA.
