Preservation of Stem Cells in Androgenetic Alopecia

Abstract

Androgenetic alopecia is characterized by progressive, patterned hair loss from the scalp that occurs in both men and women. Suggested that genetically predisposed hair follicles are target for androgen-stimulated follicle miniaturization, with gradual replacement of terminal hairs by vellus hairs. We aimed at evaluating the expression of stem and progenitor cell markers using IHC in scalp biopsies from affected and unaffected areas of patients with AGA.
