Dog hair follicles contain important molecules that may affect hair growth.

This study found that hairless dog breeds have adapted to maintain normal body and core temperatures through structural changes like a thicker epidermis and the role of melanin in thermoregulation, with genetic mechanisms involving the FOXI3 gene governing hairlessness.

This study identified a genetic locus associated with coat type in domestic dogs, showing certain variants linked to single-coated breeds and suggesting potential regulatory roles.

This study assessed hair whorl characteristics in domestic dogs and found that simple whorls predominate, with tufted whorls more common in specific regions like elbows and chests, influenced by factors such as coat traits and source.

This study found that treating the skin of Mexican hairless dogs with different tretinoin formulations reduced comedones and lightened skin color, suggesting its potential as a model for evaluating retinoid activity.
