30 citations,
May 2018 in “Experimental Dermatology” The conclusion is that future hair loss treatments should target the root causes of hair thinning, not just promote hair growth.
February 2024 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” Hair loss in Androgenetic Alopecia is caused by genetics, aging, and lifestyle, leading to hair follicle shrinkage and related health risks.
January 2012 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” 2011 dermatology discussions highlighted stem cell hair treatments, new lichen planopilaris therapies, skin side effects from cancer drugs, emerging allergens, and the link between food allergies and skin issues.
14 citations,
July 2015 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” Sebaceous glands in male pattern hair loss patients have more lobules and might cause early hair growth phase shifts.
32 citations,
July 2017 in “Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews-Developmental Biology” Transit-amplifying cells are crucial for tissue repair and can contribute to cancer when they malfunction.
6 citations,
May 2013 in “PloS one” The Foxn1(-/-) nude mouse shows disrupted and expanded skin stem cell areas due to high Lhx2 levels.
1 citations,
September 2013 in “Elsevier eBooks” Hair ages and thins due to factors like inflammation and stress, and treatments like antioxidants and hormones might improve hair health.
5 citations,
April 2022 in “Pharmaceutics” Minoxidil nanoparticles significantly boost hair growth in mice compared to regular minoxidil.
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.
5 citations,
