November 2001 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” This study found that Stat3 removal in keratinocytes of mice impairs healing and disrupts the normal hair cycle, leading to skin ulcers and hair loss as they age.
73 citations

November 2000 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America” This study demonstrated that anagen can be induced in Stat3-disrupted mice, suggesting that both Stat3-dependent and independent pathways, possibly involving PKC, mediate hair cycle progression with required PI3K activation.
1010 citations
,
August 2000 in “Cell” In this study, researchers found that hair follicle stem cells in mice can generate both hair follicle and epidermis cells, highlighting their potential bipotency.
114 citations
,
October 1996 in “Dermatologic clinics” This chapter reviews laboratory models used for studying alopecia therapies but provides no new experimental findings.
90 citations
,
October 1996 in “Dermatologic Clinics” This study found that red ginseng oil may enhance hair growth and protect skin from UV damage in mouse models by promoting regenerative processes and reducing inflammation.
130 citations
,
January 1994 in “Differentiation” In this study, researchers found that bulge cells in mouse hair follicles undergo transient proliferation during early anagen, indicating their role as follicular stem cells. However, another factor beyond dermal papilla proximity may be required to initiate a new anagen phase.

February 1992 in “Trends in genetics” This article describes the potential role of various growth factors and molecules in regulating mammalian hair follicle development but does not present new experimental results.
