    TLDR Retinoic acid receptors are important for hair follicle development.
    The study investigated the role of retinoic acid receptors α and γ in the morphogenesis of hair vibrissa follicles. The research suggested that the expression of these receptors was linked to the development of hair follicles, indicating that retinoic acid signaling played a crucial role in hair follicle formation. The findings provided insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying hair follicle development, although the specific number of subjects or experimental details were not provided in the document.
