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.
September 2023 in “Frontiers in cell and developmental biology” Vav2 changes how hair follicle stem cells' genes work as they age, which might improve regeneration but also raise cancer risk.
April 2021 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The research found genes that may protect certain scalp cells from hair loss.
6 citations,

202 citations,
August 2017 in “Nature cell biology” Lactate production is important for activating hair growth stem cells.
