March 2010 in “Aging” This study found that circadian clock genes are involved in regulating the hair growth cycle, suggesting a connection between daily rhythms and the longer hair follicle cycling process.

May 2013 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America” This study discovered that the circadian clock influences hair follicle regeneration, making hair grow faster in the morning and causing more radiation-induced hair loss in the morning compared to the evening.
237 citations
,
February 2016 in “Science Translational Medicine” This study found that many effects previously thought to be caused by circadian rhythm disruption in Bmal1 knockout mice are actually due to BMAL1's properties unrelated to its clock function.
16 citations
,
January 2019 in “Aging” This study found that transgenic mice expressing a mutant CYLD protein lacking deubiquitinase function showed signs of premature aging and spontaneous tumor development, likely due to over-activation of specific molecular pathways and chronic inflammation.

,
August 2013 in “Archives of Dermatological Research” This study concluded that the expression of clock genes, specifically BMAL1, in hair follicles is linked to circadian rhythm, and BMAL1 regulates hair growth.
