January 2026 in “Open MIND” A recent study explores a non-androgen pathway for treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA) by targeting the PIEZO1 and MLCK axis, which is implicated in follicular miniaturization due to connective tissue sheath hypercontractility.

However, these findings are purely computational and require further *in vitro* validation, with no current clinical claims or products available.
