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.

Hominis Placenta helps hair grow back by increasing cell growth and a specific growth factor.

The we/we wal/wal mice have defects in hair growth and skin layer formation, causing hair loss, useful for understanding alopecia.

The most effective way to diagnose non-scarring hair loss is by transverse sectioning, and some cases, particularly in males with inflammation around hair follicles, might be curable.

Androgenetic alopecia causes hair loss by shrinking hair follicles due to androgens, with the connection between the muscle and hair follicle determining if the loss is reversible.

Fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution is a unique hair loss condition with inflammation and scarring, resembling but distinct from common balding.

The document concludes that diagnosing hair loss requires evaluating multiple histological features, as no single feature is definitive on its own.

Some horses lose hair without inflammation or itching due to various conditions, and while mainly a cosmetic issue, diagnosis requires examination and biopsies, and breeding is not advised if it's hereditary.

Hair loss reduces hair thickness and coverage, but drug treatments mainly revive dormant hairs rather than reverse thinning; patients often undervalue their hair loss severity.
