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.
October 2015 in “Regenerative Medicine” Two growth factors, PDGF and FGF2, can potentially be used together to grow enough cells for a hair loss treatment, but their exact function on human cells needs further confirmation.
