Expression and Functional Relevance of Melatonin Receptors in Hair Follicle Biology

    January 2005 in “ Experimental dermatology ”
    Hiroshi Kobayashi, Ralf Paus
    Studysummary The researchers observed that normal murine hair follicles are direct targets for melatonin, with receptor expression varying throughout the hair cycle, suggesting melatonin's role in hair cycle control.
