Rationale: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is characterized by progressive hair follicle miniaturization driven by androgen signaling and alterations in the follicular microenvironment, including fibrosis and inflammation. Therefore, identifying key mediators of epithelial–mesenchymal crosstalk is essential for elucidating disease mechanisms and developing targeted therapeutic strategies. In this context, we investigated the role of the DKK3–CKAP4 ...
