Differential Expression of CXCL12 in Human and Mouse Hair: Androgens Induce CXCL12 in Human Dermal Papilla and Dermal Sheath Cup

    Mei Zheng, Seungchan An, In Guk Park … Jong-Hyuk Sung
    Studysummary This study observed that CXCL12 is highly co-expressed with androgen receptors in human hair follicle cells, and its inhibition via antibodies increased hair length, suggesting a potential treatment strategy for androgenic alopecia.
