    TLDR Specific genes influence hair growth and quality in goats and sheep.
    The document reviewed the anatomy and development of hair follicles in animals, particularly goats and sheep, focusing on the genetic factors influencing hair production and quality. It identified that 10,077 genes were expressed in primary hair follicles and 7,772 in secondary follicles. The study also discussed the structure of hair follicles, their morphogenesis, and the stages of the hair cycle (anagen, catagen, and telogen), highlighting the role of specific genes in these processes. The scope included examining genes related to hair quality from follicle formation to the initiation and repetition of the hair cycle.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      Hair loss is linked to DHT, with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil being common but not definitive. Economic interests influence research, and there is potential for new treatments like PP405 and RU58841.

      DHT is important for sexual function and mood, but finasteride and dutasteride can reduce DHT, causing side effects like reduced libido and erectile dysfunction. These treatments are effective for hair loss, but their impact on DHT leads to debate.
