June 1994 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study found that the switch-off of melanogenesis during the hair cycle in C57 BL-6 mice is a gradual and stochastic process starting in mid anagen VI, with specific biochemical markers indicating the transition to catagen.

July 2003 in “Journal of biological chemistry/The Journal of biological chemistry” This study found that continuous expression of epidermal growth factor in transgenic mice prevented hair follicles from entering the catagen phase, implicating EGF as a crucial regulator in hair cycle progression.
September 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that apple stem cell extract may selectively influence hair follicle bulge stem cell biology without cytotoxic effects in an ex vivo human hair follicle organ culture.
14 citations
,
January 2015 in “Genetics and molecular research” This study found that numerous genes involved in hair growth, including 73 co-up-regulated ones, were differentially expressed in goat hair follicles during the hair growth cycle.
25 citations

April 2015 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that Gsdma3 mutation in mice allows hair follicles to bypass a typical telogen phase and directly enter the anagen phase, suggesting Gsdma3's role in hair cycle transitions by regulating Wnt signaling.
