    The document reviewed the pathobiology of androgenetic alopecia, highlighting the cyclic stages of hair growth and key factors like androgens, 5α-reductase, β-catenin, and p63 that influence baldness. Despite identifying these factors, the cell biological and molecular mechanisms were still poorly understood, limiting treatment options.
