July 2000 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences” This study developed a follicular automaton model that simulates human hair cycle dynamics and can replicate hair pattern changes associated with diffuse or androgenetic alopecia.

February 2002 in “Journal of theoretical biology” This study found that a stochastic follicular automaton model replicates hair follicle cycle fluctuations, with deterministic simulations aligning with steady-state levels as follicle numbers increase.
January 2025 in “Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia” In this study, researchers observed that telogen hair was more prevalent than anagen hair in both male and female agoutis over a one-year period in Teresina-PI, regardless of dry or rainy seasons, with no significant differences in dermal follicular volume between the sexes.

April 2013 in “Development” In this study, researchers found that the number of dermal papilla cells in hair follicles determines hair size and shape in mice, suggesting potential avenues for addressing hair loss.

May 1997 in “Veterinary Pathology” This study found that the angora mouse mutation prolongs the anagen phase, resulting in excessively long hair and follicular abnormalities, without involving circulating hair cycle factors.
