Alopecia areata (AA) is a common autoimmune skin disease resulting in the loss of hair on the scalp and elsewhere on the body that affects over 146 million people worldwide at some point in their lives. Founded in 1981, the National AA Foundation (NAAF) is a nonprofit organization that supports research to find a cure or acceptable treatment for AA, supports those with the disease, and educates the public about AA. NAAF conducts research summits every two years to review progress and create new directions in its funded and promoted research. This report from the seventh AA Research Summit, Forging the Future, held December 4-5, 2018 in New York City provides highlights of the research presented and future research priorities identified during targeted discussion sessions.
斑秃（AA）是一种常见的自身免疫性皮肤疾病，导致头皮和身体其他部位的毛发脱落，全球有超过 1.46 亿人在其一生中的某个时刻受到影响。国家 AA 基金会（NAAF）成立于 1981 年，是一个非营利组织，支持研究以寻找 AA 的治愈方法或可接受的治疗方法，支持患有该病的人，并向公众宣传 AA。NAAF 每两年举办一次研究峰会，以审查进展情况并为其资助和推动的研究制定新的方向。这份来自于 2018 年 12 月 4 日至 5 日在纽约市举行的第七次 AA 研究峰会的报告“铸就未来”提供了研究会上提出的研究重点和确定的未来研究重点的摘要。
