Abstract in brief

  • The study finds that in men with androgenetic alopecia (AGA), the androgen receptor (AR) moves into the nucleus of cells in the dermal papilla (DP), which is crucial for hair growth, and this is linked to blood vessel regression within the DP.
  • It shows that microvascular abnormalities and vessel regression happen early during hair follicle miniaturization in AGA, with blood vessels gathering around the DP during the initiation of a new hair growth cycle, indicating that blood vessel health is important for hair regeneration.
  • The research reveals that AR signals through TGF pathways to cause apoptosis (cell death) of microvascular endothelial cells in the DP, leading to blood vessel regression, and suggests that early anti-AR treatments might be more effective in preventing or reversing hair loss.
