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.
March 2023 in “Advances in Cosmetic Surgery” Exosomes, tiny cell-released particles, may help hair growth, but their exact role is unclear, they're not FDA-approved, and their unregulated use can cause side effects.
76 citations,

11 citations,
February 2019 in “Stem cells international” Skin-derived stem cells grow faster and are easier to obtain than hair follicle stem cells, but both can become various cell types.
7 citations,
February 2018 in “InTech eBooks” Biomaterials combined with stem cells show promise for improving tissue repair and medical treatments.
3 citations,
