July 2020 in “International journal of clinical & experimental dermatology” Hair loss in women aged 20-30 is often linked to deficiencies in Vitamin D, zinc, ferritin, and haemoglobin, as well as low SHBG levels in those with irregular periods.
Skin stem cells in hair follicles are important for touch sensation.
Hair follicle stem cells are crucial for touch sensation and proper nerve structure in mice.
September 2017 in “Asian Journal of Beauty and Cosmetology” The Notch signaling pathway is important for hair follicle development and could help create treatments for hair disorders.
January 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
