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.

February 2025 in “BMC Veterinary Research” This study on Inner Mongolia cashmere goats used SWATH mass spectrometry to analyze skin samples during the anagen and telogen stages of hair growth, identifying 2,414 proteins with 631 showing differential regulation. Key findings include the significant role of keratin proteins, particularly KRT25, KRT71, and KRT82, in secondary hair follicle growth. The study highlighted pathways related to metabolism, fatty acid degradation, and hair follicle growth, such as TGF-beta, VEGF, and Wnt signaling. The research involved three 2-year-old female goats and provides insights into the biological processes governing hair follicle development, with implications for improving cashmere production.
