This study found that telogen, a resting phase of the hair follicle cycle, is characterized by dynamic gene expression, including enhanced cholesterol metabolism and immune signaling, suggesting it is an active regulatory phase despite its quiescent appearance.

This study found that hair follicle stem cells are stiff with high actomyosin contractility, while hair germ progenitors are soft and enlarge during quiescence, influencing hair regeneration; inducing miR-205 reduces contractility and activates regeneration in mice.

This study observed that in mouse fetuses, reticular contraction by actomyosin is involved in dermal regeneration, and differences in actin and α-SMA localization may determine the switch between regeneration and scar formation, suggesting potential insights for wound regeneration therapy.

Activating Wnt in skin cells controls the number of hair follicles by directing cell movement and fate.

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.
