    Studysummary In this study on C3H/HeJ-engrafted mice, a single injection of BMD-1141 significantly increased anagen hair follicle counts and enhanced hair regrowth compared to daily high-dose ruxolitinib, suggesting it stimulates hair growth by influencing the hair cycle rather than altering immune response.
