August 2026 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This review suggests that hair loss involves a complex interplay of androgen signaling with various regenerative and inflammatory pathways, challenging the view of dihydrotestosterone as the sole cause.
August 2026 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This narrative literature review by LUSTRAO examines the complex biological mechanisms influencing hair growth and loss, highlighting that androgen signalling, while significant, works within a network involving regenerative, inflammatory, and vascular processes, without establishing it as the sole explanation for conditions like androgenetic alopecia.
June 2023 in “Italian Journal of Medicine” This study found that urotensin II promoted proliferation and VEGF secretion in rat dermal papilla cells by activating the Wnt-β-catenin signaling pathway, with the effect being reversible by a Wnt inhibitor.

December 2019 in “Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Letters” In a study on the effects of stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on hair growth in nude mice, researchers found that both treatments promoted hair growth, with SVF showing a stronger effect.
