1 citations,
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.

October 2024 in “Biology” Dermal papilla cells can help regrow hair and are promising for hair loss treatments.
7 citations,
July 2022 in “Pharmaceuticals” Pumpkin Seed Oil in niosomes may help treat hair loss and improve hair growth.
6 citations,
June 2019 in “Skin Research and Technology” Finasteride works for hair loss by maintaining existing hair follicles, not reversing miniaturization.
35 citations,
March 2007 in “Skin Research and Technology” The conclusion is that exogen is a unique hair cycle phase and the new sampling method specifically targets this stage, which may help in future hair loss research.
