February 2019 in “Journal of Cutaneous Pathology” This study suggests that the epigenetic marker 5-hmC may dynamically influence hair follicle bulge activation during anagen growth in mice, warranting further investigation into its role in stem cell regulation.
April 2021 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” In this study, researchers found that the deletion of Tet2/3 enzymes in mice led to changes in skin development and hair follicle differentiation, ultimately causing hair loss and altered gene expression.
June 2020 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study found that genetic ablation of Tet genes in mice led to changes in hair structure and keratin gene expression, indicating a role for Tet-mediated 5hmC DNA oxidation in hair follicle development and cycling.
September 2019 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study found that deleting all three Tet genes in mice led to shorter hair shafts and altered hair types, with associated changes in gene expression and DNA hydroxymethylation.
November 2024 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Paclitaxel chemotherapy causes premature aging and damage to hair follicles, potentially leading to permanent hair loss.
