A friend recently came across this article and sent it to me. Thanks, Teri : )
Last summer, a researcher announced the discovery of the genes implicated in Alopecia Areata. This is huge progress on the road to understanding this disease, as very little has been known about it thus far. This will open up the possibility of new, more effective treatments and further developments in helping people with Alopecia Areata.
This is pretty exciting and interesting news. Here is a link to the article:
