April 2008 in “Organogenesis” This review discusses the roles of Wnt signaling in skin organogenesis and related processes but reports no new experimental results, highlighting areas for future research.
March 2026 in “World Rabbit Science” This study found that overexpression and knockdown of DKK4 influence genes involved in hair follicle growth and development in Angora rabbits and identified specific SNPs in DKK4 associated with wool quality, notably showing that the TT/GG haplotype combination relates to higher fibre diameters.
April 2018 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” In a laboratory setting, this study found that Biotrinine® dry extract activated hair follicle growth pathways and increased certain growth factor secretions in human dermal papilla cells, suggesting potential benefits for treating chronic hair loss.
