Most common forms of hair loss (alopecia) are caused by aberrant hair follicle cycling and changes in hair follicle morphology.  Current treatments for alopecia do not specifically target these processes. New molecules and molecular pathways that control normal hair follicle formation, cycling and growth are now being identified.  In addition, new techniques are being developed for delivering molecules to hair follicles, which will help to improve treatment delivery options and outcomes for alopecia patients.

Advances in Medicine: Optimal Patient Management of Alopecia has been developed to raise awareness amongst medical practitioners of changes to the treatment paradigm, due to the arrival of a new generation of therapies and advances in the science and technology of alopecia.
