April 2014 in “Genes & Development” The researchers reported that in mice, prolactin signaling in the skin epithelium inhibits hair follicle stem cell activation, promoting quiescence during periods of high serum prolactin like pregnancy and lactation.
November 2024 in “BMC Research Notes” This study found that in men with androgenetic alopecia, the expression levels of genes SIRT3 and SIRT7 were reduced, while NFATC1 and PDL-1 were elevated, aligning with patterns seen in aging hair follicles, suggesting these genes' roles in AGA pathogenesis.
July 2024 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study investigated the expression of genes related to hair follicle aging in men with androgenetic alopecia, finding decreased levels of SIRT3 and SIRT7 and increased levels of NFATC1 and PDL-1, suggesting these genes' involvement in the condition's pathogenesis.
January 2023 in “Annals of dermatology/Annals of Dermatology” This study found that overexpression of miR-1246 in peripheral CD4+ T cells can reduce markers associated with inflammation and T cell activation in severe active alopecia areata, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits.
