TLDR Low-frequency electromagnetic fields may help treat hair loss by promoting hair regrowth.
The study explores the impact of low-frequency electromagnetic fields (LFEMFs) on testosterone-induced androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in mice, highlighting the LncRNA H19/miR-214-5p/β-catenin signaling pathway. Involving 40 mice and a clinical study with 30 male AGA patients and 30 healthy controls, the research found that LFEMF exposure significantly improved hair loss by modulating the expression of miR-214-5p, H19, and β-catenin. LFEMFs enhanced hair follicle stem cell proliferation, reduced apoptosis, and activated the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, suggesting their potential as a therapeutic approach for AGA. However, further research is needed to confirm the long-term safety and mechanisms of LFEMFs.
