    TLDR Nano-cerium oxide may help treat hair loss by improving hair growth and reducing certain skin proteins.
    The study investigates the effects of nano-cerium oxide on androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in mice. C57BL/6 mice were divided into five groups, including a nano-cerium oxide group, and treated to establish an AGA model. The results showed that nano-cerium oxide increased the ratio of terminal hairs to vellus hairs, elevated IGF-1 protein expression, and decreased TGF-β and DHT levels in the skin. These findings suggest that nano-cerium oxide may help alleviate AGA, providing a basis for developing new treatments for this condition.
