December 2013 in “Molecular biology of the cell” This study found that ILK deficiency disrupts hair follicle development by impairing cell polarity and laminin-511 assembly, but these defects can be partially reversed with exogenous laminin-511.

October 2014 in “Development” This study revealed that frizzled 3 can fully rescue polarity defects in frizzled 6-null mice, while frizzled 6 can partially rescue defects in frizzled 3-null mice, highlighting conserved signaling roles in these proteins.

January 2018 in “Development” This study found that Frizzled genes Fzd3 and Fzd6 are redundantly involved in controlling hair follicle polarity in mice, but operate through distinct mechanisms, highlighting their complex role in hair orientation.
May 2021 in “Histochemistry and Cell Biology” This article highlights studies on cholesterol transporter proteins in hair cycles, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in cancer, ovarian hormone effects on cell polarity before implantation, and UV effects on rodent skin, without providing new clinical results.

January 2016 in “Development” In this study, researchers found that YAP and TAZ, when localized in the nucleus of basal layer cells, are crucial for skin regeneration and hair growth, with their loss leading to slower cell proliferation, hair loss, and impaired wound healing in mice.
