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.

13 citations,
December 2014 in “Stem Cells” Hair and skin can regenerate without bulge stem cells due to other compensating cells.
6 citations,
January 2013 in “Genetics and Molecular Research” Women with hair loss have more androgen receptors in certain hair follicles.
5 citations,
September 2011 in “Cell stem cell” Epigenetic changes are crucial for hair follicle stem cells to function properly.
September 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Hair follicle cells change their DNA packaging during growth cycles and when grown in the lab.
