    TLDR Raptor and Rictor have stable expression in hair cycles, with Raptor marking stem cells and Rictor involved in hair shaft formation.
    The study investigated the expression patterns of mTOR subunits Raptor and Rictor during the hair follicle cycle in mice. It found that both Raptor and Rictor exhibited distinct expression patterns at different stages of the hair follicle cycle, suggesting that these subunits play specific roles in hair follicle development and regeneration. The findings provided insights into the molecular mechanisms regulating hair growth and could have implications for understanding hair loss conditions.
