May 2022 in “Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology” miR-29a-5p prevents the formation of early hair structures by targeting a gene important for hair growth and is regulated by a complex network involving lncRNA627.1.
April 2022 in “Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy” CXCL12 protein slows down hair growth through its receptor CXCR4. Blocking this can potentially increase hair growth.
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.
