This study identified genetic regions evolving at different rates in hairless mammals, suggesting that specific genomic changes may contribute to the evolution of hairlessness across various species.
September 2023 in “Medicine” This study found increased infiltration of specific immune cells, such as γδ T cells and CD8+ T cells, in the bald scalp of male androgenetic alopecia patients, and identified four key immune-related genes potentially involved in hair loss development through interferon-γ signaling pathways.
March 2023 in “Research Square (Research Square)” In this study, researchers found that changes in immune cell infiltration and immune-related gene expression may contribute to the immune microenvironment changes in male androgenetic alopecia.
