Alopecia can be caused by defective formation, defective regeneration, or increased destruction of hair follicles. Much work has elucidated the roles of diffusible morphogens in modulating hair follicle stem cell activities. Recent studies have revealed novel molecular events within the nucleus, which are required for the activation and progression of hair stem cells. These studies will provide new clues and targets for designing therapeutic strategies for hair loss.
脱发可由毛囊形成缺陷、再生缺陷或破坏增加引起。大量研究阐明了可扩散形态发生因子在调节毛囊干细胞活性方面的作用。最近的研究揭示了细胞核内激活和促进毛干细胞所需的新分子事件。这些研究将为设计脱发治疗策略提供新的线索和靶点。
