research The roles of hepatocyte growth factor family members in androgen-regulation of human hair growth. A comparison of the expression of hepatocyte growth factor family members, HGF and MSP, and their receptors, c-Met and RON, in isolated hair follicles from normal and androgenetic alopecia (balding) scalp.
Balding hair follicles have reduced growth factors and increased inhibitory factors, suggesting new treatment paths for hair loss.
