June 2026 in “BMC Biotechnology” The study introduces a novel in vitro organ model for androgenetic alopecia (AGA) that effectively replicates the clinical features and androgen sensitivity of AGA. By optimizing dihydrotestosterone (DHT) concentration and using organotypic culture, the model demonstrated inhibited hair follicle growth, increased apoptosis, and key molecular changes such as decreased β-catenin and IGF-1 expression. It also showed alterations in the Wnt/β-catenin and TGF-β signaling pathways. The model's ability to partially reverse DHT effects with minoxidil or bicalutamide highlights its potential for drug evaluation and personalized therapy development, offering a promising platform for regenerative treatments for AGA.
