September 2024 in “iScience” In a study on mice, researchers found that exposure to artificial light environments causing circadian misalignment impaired hair growth by reducing the hair growth rate during the anagen phase, suggesting these light conditions as a potential risk factor for hair loss.
July 2023 in “Biomolecules” In this review, the authors discussed how the circadian clock influences hair follicle regeneration by regulating metabolism, suggesting potential new targets for hair loss treatments.
