15 citations,
February 2015 in “Cell & tissue research/Cell and tissue research” P-cadherin is important for hair growth and health, and its problems can cause hair and skin disorders.
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.
47 citations,
September 2008 in “British Journal of Dermatology” Ludwig pattern hair loss in women results from varying sensitivity in hair follicles, causing fewer visible hairs.
96 citations,
October 2000 in “The FASEB Journal” The p75 neurotrophin receptor is important for hair follicle regression by controlling cell death.

14 citations,
March 2016 in “Mechanisms of Development” Basonuclin 2 is vital for the development of facial bones, hair follicles, and male germ cells in adult mice, and its absence can lead to dwarfism and abnormal follicles.
7 citations,
June 2022 in “Frontiers in Veterinary Science” Researchers found genes linked to hair growth cycles in Inner Mongolia cashmere goats, which could help understand and treat hair loss.
2 citations,
November 2022 in “Animal Bioscience” A specific RNA modification in cashmere goats helps activate hair growth-related stem cells.
67 citations,
May 2010 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” Some chemotherapy can cause permanent hair loss.
