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.
1 citations,
January 2013 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The document concludes that stem cells and their environments are crucial for skin and hair health and have potential for medical treatments.

January 2021 in “Journal of cosmetology & trichology” L-(+)-Tartaric Acid may help increase certain hair growth genes without harming cells.
5 citations,
April 2022 in “Frontiers in Medicine” Hair and skin healing involve complex cell interactions controlled by specific molecules and pathways, and hair follicle cells can help repair skin wounds.
June 2023 in “Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology” The conclusion is that accurately replicating the complexity of the extracellular matrix in the lab is crucial for creating realistic human tissue models.
January 2018 in “Clinical approaches and procedures in cosmetic dermatology” Low-Level Laser Therapy might be an effective alternative hair loss treatment for some people.
January 2017 in “Clinical approaches and procedures in cosmetic dermatology” Low-Level Laser Therapy might be a good alternative for hair loss when other treatments fail, but its effectiveness varies and more research is needed.
147 citations,
September 2006 in “Developmental Cell” Too much Smad7 changes skin and hair development by breaking down a protein called β-catenin, leading to more oil glands and fewer hair follicles.
59 citations,
March 2008 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” Smad-4 and Smad-7 are key in hair follicle development, with other Smads being less important.
43 citations,
December 2008 in “Molecular biology of the cell” Disrupting Smad4 in mouse skin causes early hair follicle stem cell activity that leads to their eventual depletion.
