Study Title | Metabolomics Analysis of Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia |
Study Type | Unaffected and Affected patient scalp biopsies |
Study Summary | Scarring alopecia consists of a collection of disorders characterized by destruction of hair follicles, replacement with fibrous scar tissue, and irreversible hair loss. Alopecia affects men and women worldwide and can be a significant source of psychological stress and depression for affected individuals. The purpose of this study was to explore metabolic profiles in scalp tissue samples from normal control subjects (n=6) and in matched samples obtained from affected (n=12) and unaffected (n=12) areas of the scalp in patients with lymphocytic Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (FFA). Frontal fibrosing alopecia results from destruction of hair follicles by an inflammatory lymphocytic infiltrate that is localized around the upper portion of the hair follicle. |
