Abstract
The physical properties of a tissue, including hardness, play an important role in development, homeostasis and disease pathogenesis.1 For hair follicles, physical properties of the surrounding tissue regulates hair morphogenesis and growth.2 However, little is known about the role of tissue hardness in hair loss diseases. Androgenetic alopecia (Androgenetic Alopecia) is caused by androgen and susceptible genetic background. The disease process of Androgenetic Alopecia is also modified by other factors.3, 4 We hypothesized that Androgenetic Alopecia was associated with scalp hardness and thus this study was conducted to confirm the hypothesis.
