Hairlessness in mammals is due to complex genetic changes in both genes and regulatory regions.
July 2021 in “Journal of dermatology research and therapy” COVID-19 may worsen hair loss, and Nourkrin® could be a safe treatment option, but more research is needed.
Different types of sun exposure damage skin cells and immune cells, with chronic exposure leading to more severe and lasting damage.
October 2020 in “Stem cells” The document concludes that DNA methylation and the mTOR pathway are important for stem cell function and could impact disease treatment.
August 2019 in “International journal of dermatology and venereology” The calcineurin/NFAT pathway plays a significant role in the development and growth of a type of skin cancer called cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.
July 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The research found that male pattern hair loss is mostly genetic and involves hair thinning due to hormonal effects and changes in gene expression.
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.
