Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common type of hair loss and features progressive miniaturization of hair follicles. Generally, the occurrence of AGA has long been thought to be driven by genetic and androgen predisposition. However, increasingly, data proposed ageing and AGA are intimately linked. Elevated senescent cell burden and androgen and oxidative stress-induced senescence mechanisms in ageing may...
