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.

April 2024 in “Frontiers in physiology” Immune cells are crucial for hair growth and preventing hair loss.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Researchers found that the Leptin receptor is a consistent marker for hair follicle dermal cells, which may help future hair research.
April 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The BMP/Smads pathway and Id2 gene control hair follicle stem cells, affecting their rest and growth phases.
157 citations,
April 1994 in “Clinical endocrinology” Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas and hair loss on the scalp.
26 citations,
May 2013 in “Marine Drugs” Ishige sinicola, a type of seaweed, may help hair grow by blocking a hair loss-related enzyme and boosting important cell growth.
3 citations,
June 2006 in “Expert Review of Dermatology” The document concludes that hair loss is complex, affects many people, has limited treatments, and requires more research on its causes and psychological impact.
30 citations,
December 2018 in “Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism” Both immature and mature fat cells are important for hair growth cycles, with immature cells promoting growth and mature cells possibly inhibiting it.
