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.

July 2016 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Balding scalps show different gene expressions affecting hair growth compared to non-balding scalps.
July 2016 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” R-spondin2 may help treat hair loss, gene differences could explain baldness, a peptide's regulation is linked to psoriasis, B-defensin gene copies may affect a skin condition's risk and severity, and potential markers and targets for alopecia areata were identified.
35 citations,
March 2015 in “Experimental Dermatology” Cells from the base of hair follicles help blood vessel cells survive and grow, which is important for healthy hair.
