September 2017 in “Scientific Reports” Mice with too much sPLA₂-IIA have hair loss and poor wound healing due to abnormal hair growth and stem cell depletion.
6 citations,
August 2020 in “Cell regeneration” Hair follicle stem cells are similar to bone marrow stem cells but are better for fat cell research.
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.
13 citations,
September 2019 in “EBioMedicine” sPLA2-IIA increases growth in hair follicle stem cells and cancer cells, suggesting it could be targeted for hair growth and cancer treatment.
9 citations,
