    TLDR miR-133b promotes hair growth and could be a potential treatment for hair loss.
    The study conducted miRNA microarray profiling in patients with androgenic alopecia and found that miR-133b was significantly downregulated in affected scalp tissues. Further experiments showed that overexpression of miR-133b promoted hair growth in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that miR-133b may be a potential therapeutic target for androgenic alopecia.
