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.

October 2023 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” Immune cells are essential for early hair and skin development and healing.
October 2023 in “Clinical medicine and medical research” Thyroid function may influence hair loss after COVID-19.
Researchers found a genetic link for hereditary hair loss but need more analysis to identify the exact gene.
December 2018 in “IntechOpen eBooks” Neurohormones help control skin health and could treat skin disorders.
10 citations,
August 2021 in “Frontiers in cell and developmental biology” Scientists made structures that look like human hair follicles using stem cells, which could help grow hair without using actual human tissue.
