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.
28 citations,
October 2019 in “Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology” Hair can regrow in large wounds through a process similar to how hair forms in embryos, and understanding this could lead to new treatments for hair loss or scarring.
15 citations,
October 2014 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” Erlotinib causes skin inflammation through IL-1, which can be reduced by anakinra.
April 2022 in “JAAD case reports” Alitretinoin helped clear up a skin condition called generalized granuloma annulare in an elderly man.
42 citations,
April 2012 in “Seminars in Oncology” Targeted cancer therapies often cause skin problems that need careful management to improve patient quality of life and treatment success.
42 citations,
December 2011 in “The journal of immunology/The Journal of immunology” RANKL causes lymph nodes to grow by making certain cells multiply.
14 citations,
December 2018 in “The American journal of pathology” Activating Nrf2 in skin cells speeds up wound healing by increasing the growth of certain stem cells.
101 citations,
March 2019 in “Cell Stem Cell” Certain immune cells in the skin release a protein that stops hair growth by keeping hair stem cells inactive.
4 citations,
October 2021 in “Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine” White blood cells and their traps can slow down the process of new hair growth after a wound.

January 2017 in “EBioMedicine” Enhancing cannabinoid signaling may help treat skin inflammation.
38 citations,
January 2017 in “PPAR Research” PPAR-γ helps control skin oil glands and inflammation, and its disruption can cause hair loss diseases.
1 citations,
January 2024 in “International journal of molecular sciences” TRPV4 helps cells repair tissue and reduce scarring by controlling calcium levels.
September 2023 in “Medicine” The research suggests immune system changes and specific gene expression may contribute to male hair loss, proposing potential new treatments.

112 citations,
January 2014 in “Molecular and cellular therapies” Blocking the Wnt pathway could lead to new treatments for cancer and tissue repair but requires careful development to avoid side effects.
