See the technical phrasing
Balding dermal papilla cells (DPCs) from individuals with androgenetic alopecia exhibit premature senescence in vitro, as evidenced by reduced proliferation, increased expression of senescence markers (p16 and SA-β-gal), and elevated levels of oxidative stress and DNA damage markers (ATM, HSP27, SOD), indicating that oxidative stress may contribute to hair follicle aging and miniaturization.
