Putting the Human Hair Follicle Cycle on the Map

This review covers the structure, development, cycle, and molecular regulation of hair follicles but does not report new results, aiming to offer insights for addressing hair follicle-related diseases.

In this study, the researchers observed that MMP-2 and MMP-9 significantly fluctuated with the hair growth cycle in mice, suggesting their important role in hair development.

This review discusses the use of the human-on-mouse xenograft model for studying the human hair follicle cycle and emphasizes its utility for pharmacological testing, without reporting new clinical results.

This study observed that vitamin D receptor expression in certain hair follicle cells varies throughout the murine hair cycle, suggesting a potential role for 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in hair follicle biology.

This article discusses the hair follicle's regenerative cycles and the molecular mechanisms influencing them, emphasizing the need for therapeutic targeting of the "hair cycle clock" to manage hair growth disorders, without reporting new research findings.

This study found that transgenic mice expressing HPV E6/E7 in the outer root sheath experience continuous hair follicle cycling due to delayed catagen entrance and insensitivity to telogen resting signals.
