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.
May 2009 in “The American Journal of Dermatopathology” Mast cells play a significant role in hair loss conditions like male pattern hair loss and alopecia areata.
February 2024 in “Scientific reports” Four genes are potential markers for hair loss condition alopecia areata, linked to a specific type of cell death.
14 citations,
