Gut bacteria linked to baldness

March 27, 2024

Intestinal bacteria are associated with baldness, according to a new study. The research showed that certain types of bacteria prevent baldness, while the presence of Ruminococcaceae UCG-003 microorganisms in the gut was found to be a risk factor for alopecia areata. Scientists hope to develop treatment and prevention strategies for pathological baldness by studying the mechanism of gut bacteria's influence on alopecia.
