research The Biology of Hair Follicles
This article discusses the biologic and psychosocial significance of hair, the current limitations in hair growth drugs, and anticipates future therapies based on advancing hair follicle research.
research Do Hair Bulb Melanocytes Undergo Apoptosis During Hair Follicle Regression (Catagen)?
In this study, different types of catagen in the C57BL/6 mouse model exhibited varying effects on hair follicle melanocytes and melanin distribution, with spontaneous and dexamethasone-induced catagen showing pigment incontinence, while cyclophosphamide-induced catagen retained dendritic melanocytes but increased ectopic melanin.
research Melanogenesis During the Anagen-Catagen-Telogen Transformation of the Murine Hair Cycle
This study found that the switch-off of melanogenesis during the hair cycle in C57 BL-6 mice is a gradual and stochastic process starting in mid anagen VI, with specific biochemical markers indicating the transition to catagen.

In this study, injecting chimeric RNA–DNA oligonucleotides into mice skin caused a temporary mutation in keratin 17, altering hair morphology, but the mutation was transient due to genetic compensation or cell replacement.
research In vivo Alteration of the Keratin 17 Gene in Hair Follicles by Oligonucleotide-directed Gene Targeting
This study found that intradermal injection of specific oligonucleotides altered hair growth and morphology in mice by inducing a dominant mutation in the K17 gene.
research Correction of Hair Shaft Defects through Allele-Specific Silencing of Mutant Krt75
This study demonstrated that RNA interference targeting mutant keratin genes can effectively correct hair shaft structural defects in a mouse model by reducing mutant gene expression.
