Targeting an Ancient Biological Stress Response Could Help Prevent Hair Loss
Activation of an ancient biological stress response has been linked to a proliferative block in the human hair follicle.
One of the ways in which cells respond to stressful conditions includes restricting healthy hair growth, according to a new study.
Given that the activation of this cellular response – known as the integrated stress response (ISR) – is linked to a proliferative block in the human hair follicle, researchers from the University of Manchester posit that targeting this pathway to mitigate ISR activation could be used to help maintain hair follicles and treat hair loss.
