August 2023 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” Certain cells in the adult mouse ear come from cranial neural crest cells, but muscle and hair cells do not.
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.
1 citations,
January 2012 in “International journal of trichology” Sheep hair follicle cells can grow a lot but need the dermal papilla to do so.
