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.

11 citations,
October 2021 in “Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology” Non-coding RNAs are important for hair growth and could lead to new hair loss treatments, but more research is needed.
9 citations,
July 1995 in “Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice” The document concludes that hair loss in cats is caused by various factors, including allergies, mites, infections, and hormonal issues, with treatments varying accordingly.
