    Expression Level of Prostaglandin D2 Receptor 2 Regulates Hair Regression

    Yoo Ri Kang, Soon-Sun Bak, Min Kyu Kim … Young Kwan Sung
    Studysummary This study suggests that the expression of the DP2 receptor is higher in balding scalp cells and that its knockdown could inhibit the transition to the catagen phase in cultured human hair follicles, potentially counteracting hair growth inhibition associated with male pattern baldness.
