December 2022 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study found that inducing miR-205 reduces actin contractility and stiffness in hair follicle stem cells and progenitors, stimulating hair regeneration in both young and old mice.
March 2021 in “Cell stem cell” This study found that actomyosin contractility in suprabasal keratinocytes influences the proliferation and differentiation of epidermal stem/progenitor cells by acting as a niche element in the skin.
