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.
14 citations,
February 2014 in “Experimental Cell Research” The conclusion is that teeth, hair, and claws have similar stem cell niches, which are important for growth and repair, and more research is needed on their regulation and potential markers.
7 citations,
October 2011 in “International Surgery” In 2011, hair restoration was a specialized field in plastic surgery, using techniques like "Ultrarefined follicular unit hair transplantation" to minimize scarring and promote hair growth, with future treatments like stem cell therapy and hair cloning still being tested.
60 citations,
December 2021 in “Cytokine & growth factor reviews” PRP therapy shows promise in healing and tissue repair across various medical fields but needs more research for standardization and optimization.
32 citations,
January 2005 in “Advances in Biochemical Engineering / Biotechnology” Fetal wounds heal without scarring because of different biological factors, which could help improve adult wound healing.
106 citations,
July 2013 in “Advances in wound care” UV radiation can help sterilize wounds and promote healing but requires careful use to avoid damaging cells.
