April 2017 in “Journal of The European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology” This study found that long non-coding RNAs are differentially expressed in androgenetic alopecia, suggesting potential roles in its development and novel targets for prevention and treatment.
January 2026 in “Stem Cell Research & Therapy” This study found that targeting the AR/miR-128-3p/IGF-1 pathway with ASLNC168501 shows potential for treating androgenetic alopecia by restoring hair follicle stem cell function and promoting hair regeneration.
