August 2024 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study found that in mice, including middle-aged and aged specimens, creating a wound without dermal defects and using adhesive materials to separate the epidermis from the dermis induced new hair follicle formation, suggesting potential applications for treating hair loss.
July 2026 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study observed distinct sex differences in hair growth cycles and regeneration in C3H/He mice, noting that females regenerated hair faster after adhesive material application, whereas males were more reliant on macrophage activity for this process.
July 2026 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study found that hair regrowth differed by position on mouse dorsal skin, appearing earlier at cranial sites compared to caudal sites, and revealed distinct gene expression profiles between these regions, impacting the design and interpretation of hair-regeneration experiments.
June 2026 in “The Journal of the Kyushu Dental Society” This study reviews the development of a mouse model using pyroxylin to induce localized hair growth and shorten the hair cycle's resting phase, suggesting it as a platform for evaluating hair growth treatments, though further research is needed for human application.
August 2023 in “ACS applied materials & interfaces” In this study, researchers developed an innovative wound healing patch combining electrical and chemical components, which effectively guided recovery in animal scald models by promoting collagen deposition and the regeneration of skin structures.
