Novel Therapies For Alopecia Areata: The Era Of Rational Drug Development

The treatments for Alopecia Areata (AA) have evolved over the decades from broad and non-specific therapies, to those that are now more targeted and rationally selected. This was achieved by close co-operation and communication between clinicians and basic scientists, which resulted in the elucidation and understanding of the unique pathophysiology of AA.
