Stress might contribute to hair loss in alopecia areata.
research Maternal Melatonin Contributes to Offspring Hair Follicle Development Through Transcriptional Regulation of the AP-1 Complex and MAPK Pathway
The study examines the impact of maternal melatonin (MT) on hair follicle (HF) development in rabbit offspring, revealing that MT enhances HF density and reduces HF cell apoptosis. This effect is mediated through the transcriptional regulation of the AP-1 complex and the MAPK signaling pathway, with significant roles played by the JUN and FOS proteins. MT administration leads to the downregulation of JUN/FOS and AP-1, while affecting metabolites like equol and norepinephrine, crucial for HF development. The study suggests that MT crosses the placental barrier, influencing fetal skin and HF development, and highlights the potential of MT signaling pathways as therapeutic targets for HF-related conditions. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and explore therapeutic applications.

research Proceedings of the Ninth World Congress for Hair Research 2015
The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
