    Studysummary In this study, researchers found that overexpression of LncRNA RP11-818O24.3 in hair follicle stem cells promotes their proliferation, self-renewal, and differentiation while inhibiting apoptosis through the FGF2-mediated PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, suggesting potential therapeutic applications for hair loss treatment.
