New Effects of Caffeine on Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone (CRH)-Induced Stress Along the Intrafollicular Classical Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) Axis (CRH-R1/2, IP3-R, ACTH, MC-R2) and the Neurogenic Non-HPA Axis (Substance P, p75NTR and TrkA) in Ex Vivo Human Male Androgenetic Scalp Hair Follicles

    Studysummary In this study, researchers found that caffeine can counteract stress-induced damage in ex vivo human androgenetic alopecia hair follicles, suggesting it may help prevent stress-related hair loss.
