The thinning top: why old people have less hair

Changes in the hair cycle underlie age-related alopecia, but the causative mechanisms have remained unclear. Chen and colleagues point to an imbalance between stem cell activating and inhibitory signals as the key determinant of age-related regenerative decline. Further, they identify a secreted pro...

description Changes in the hair cycle underlie age-related alopecia, but the causative mechanisms have remained unclear. Chen and colleagues point to an imbalance between stem cell activating and inhibitory signals as the key determinant of age-related regenerative decline. Further, they identify a secreted protein, follistatin, that may be able to shift the balance toward renewal.
