> HAIFA, Israel and NEW YORK, N.Y. (American Society for Technion - Israel

Institute of Technology) -- Researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of

Technology have identified a key factor in the cause of alopecia areata, a

the Journal of Investigative Dermatology (December 2001), suggests that

future treatments could involve desensitizing the body's immune system to

the substances that provoke the attack.
