title: [New therapeutic aspects in non-cicatricial alopecias].
abstract: We discuss the promising results of recent pharmacological and clinical studies on non-cicatricial alopecia: (1) The development of effective antiandrogens for topical application will provide some possibilities of 'causal' treatment of androgenetic alopecia in male patients. (2) Further investigations on patients treated with minoxidil may lead to new insight of the factors regulating the follicular functions. (3) Our preliminary experiences with the various therapeutic modes of alopecia areata, based on the autoimmune pathogenesis of this disease, supply the foundation for effective therapeutic regimens for practical use.
