    TLDR Epimorphin helps start hair growth in mice.
    The study investigated the role of epimorphin in inducing the anagen phase of hair follicles in C57BL/6 mice. Researchers found that epimorphin played a significant role in promoting the transition of hair follicles into the anagen phase, which is the active growth phase of hair. The findings suggested that epimorphin could be a potential target for therapies aimed at treating hair loss by stimulating hair growth. The study provided insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying hair follicle cycling and highlighted the importance of epimorphin in hair regeneration processes.
