November 2014 in “Histochemistry and Cell Biology” The we/we wal/wal mice have defects in hair growth and skin layer formation, causing hair loss, useful for understanding alopecia.
16 citations,
December 2006 in “Expert Review of Dermatology” Hair follicles are essential for skin health, aiding in hair growth, wound healing, and immune function.
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.
38 citations,
February 2021 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Aging slows wound healing due to weaker cells and immune response.
112 citations,
January 2014 in “Molecular and cellular therapies” Blocking the Wnt pathway could lead to new treatments for cancer and tissue repair but requires careful development to avoid side effects.
94 citations,
June 2016 in “The FASEB Journal” The Wnt/β-catenin pathway helps tissue regeneration but can also cause fibrosis, and drugs that inhibit this pathway may aid in healing skin and heart tissues.
18 citations,
February 2017 in “Molecular Medicine Reports” Activating Notch signaling can kill basal cell carcinoma cells.
45 citations,
January 2020 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” Some natural compounds may help overcome drug resistance in certain cancers, but more research is needed.
January 2022 in “Stem cell biology and regenerative medicine” New biofabrication technologies could lead to treatments for hair loss.
6 citations,
