September 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Certain miRNAs might be involved in a hair loss condition called frontal fibrosing alopecia and could possibly help in its diagnosis.
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.
November 2008 in “Medical & surgical dermatology” A device was made in 2008 to measure hair loss severity. Other findings include: frizzy mutation in mice isn't related to Fgfr2, C/EBPx marks preadipocytes, Cyclosporin A speeds up hair growth in mice, blocking plasmin and metalloproteinases hinders healing, hyperbaric oxygen helps ischemic wound healing, amniotic membranes heal wounds better than polyurethane foam, rhVEGF165 from a fibrin matrix improves tissue flap viability and induces VEGF-R2 expression, and bFGF enhances wound healing and reduces scarring in rabbits.
7 citations,
August 2020 in “Genes” Different genes are active in dogs' hair growth and skin, similar to humans, which helps understand dog skin and hair diseases and can relate to human conditions.
28 citations,
March 2016 in “Toxicologic pathology” Dogs could be good models for studying human hair growth and hair loss.
7 citations,
January 2016 in “Laboratory Investigation” TR3 is mainly found in hair follicle stem cells and may be involved in hair loss.
April 2011 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Bald men with male pattern baldness still have hair stem cells, but lack certain cells needed for hair growth.
