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.
April 2025 in “Molecular Biology Reports” In this study, researchers found that DNMT1-mediated methylation of SRD5A2 in urethral epithelial cells from hypospadias-afflicted rats upregulates proteins associated with cell cycle and mitochondrial function, suggesting SRD5A2 as a potential therapeutic target for hypospadias due to its role in modulating cellular functions.
This study found that Clitocybin A from Clitocybe aurantiaca may promote hair growth in immortalized rat dermal papilla cells by enhancing cell proliferation and activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling and ERK pathways.
August 2026 in “Veterinary and Animal Science” This study investigated key genes associated with hair follicle cycle regulation and environmental adaptation in Xinjiang goats, highlighting ELOVL3's role in promoting dermal papilla cell proliferation under varying climates, potentially aiding in cashmere quality improvement and stress-resistant breeding.
