October 2016 in “The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism” In this study, daughters of women with PCOS and control daughters showed no significant differences in metabolic and hormonal parameters, but more PCOS daughters exhibited hirsutism at advanced pubertal stages.
October 2023 in “Oncotarget” In this study using live mice, researchers observed that during hair follicle regression, apoptosis in basal cells may propagate by triggering neighboring cells, potentially regulated by a gradient of pro-survival signals from stem cells, and proposed a testable mechanism to further explore this process.
