research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
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.
research Nonclassical Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia and Pregnancy
Women with nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia may have a higher risk of fertility issues and miscarriages, and should get genetic counseling.
