Damage of Hair Follicle Stem Cells and Alteration of Keratin Expression in External Radiation-Induced Acute Alopecia

    Naoki Nanashima, Koichi Ito, Takashi Ishikawa … Toshiya Nakamura
    Studysummary This study observed that while X-ray radiation did not alter major hair keratin composition in mice, it decreased hair follicle stem cell markers and increased Krt5, suggesting potential as a radiation biomarker.
