GlossaryMitosis

process where one cell divides into two identical cells

Mitosis is a process of cell division where a single cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells, each containing the same number of chromosomes as the original cell. This process is crucial for growth, tissue repair, and cellular regeneration in multicellular organisms.

research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways

1 citations , May 2017 in “InTech eBooks”

Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
