Aryl hydrocarbon receptor overexpression in miniaturized follicles in female pattern hair loss*
نویسندگان
چکیده
The etiopathogenesis of female pattern hair loss is still poorly understood. In addition to genetic and hormonal elements, environmental factors could be involved. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor is expressed in keratinocytes and can be activated by environmental pollutants leading to alterations in the cell cycle, inflammation, and apoptosis. Here we demonstrate the overexpression of nuclear aryl hydrocarbon receptors in miniaturized hair follicles in female pattern hair loss.

Abstract Background: Follicles are part of epidermis and pass through a cell cycle. The result of this cell division is producing hair. Follicles specially growing follicles are very sensitive against irradiation and are damaged by low dose rates. So in this study investigated the relationship between chronic exposure of radiation workers and their hair loss. Materials and methods: In this stud...
متن کاملFemale Pattern Hair Loss: a clinical and pathophysiological review*
Female Pattern Hair Loss or female androgenetic alopecia is the main cause of hair loss in adult women and has a major impact on patients' quality of life. It evolves from the progressive miniaturization of follicles that lead to a subsequent decrease of the hair density, leading to a non-scarring diffuse alopecia, with characteristic clinical, dermoscopic and histological patterns. In spite of...
