July 1993 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study found that daily injections of basic and acidic fibroblast growth factor in newborn mice significantly delayed hair follicle development within the treatment area, while epidermal growth factor affected the entire body coat and caused skin hyperkeratinization.

January 2019 in “European journal of histochemistry” This study found that in bovine skin, leptin and its receptor are expressed in the epidermis and hair follicles, suggesting a role in epidermis growth and hair follicle cycling through paracrine and autocrine mechanisms.
