research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
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.
research Alopecia: Managing the Basics
The document concludes that treatments for female hair loss and excess body hair are available, but managing expectations is important.
research Emerging Medication for the Treatment of Male Hypogonadism
New treatments for male hypogonadism are effective and should be personalized.
