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.
September 2023 in “International journal of molecular sciences” Targeting lipid metabolism can help treat advanced, resistant cancers.
January 2023 in “European journal of gynaecological oncology” KRT17 may be a new target for endometrial cancer treatment because it helps cancer cells move and form new blood vessels.
