October 1999 in “Developmental Dynamics” This study found that the hairless gene in mice has a more extensive role in development than previously thought, as indicated by its expression in various tissues and associated abnormalities in hr/hr mutants.
January 2024 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study identified robust susceptibility genes and potential drug candidates for male-pattern baldness, providing insights into the condition's molecular mechanisms.
January 2026 in “Dermatologic Therapy” This study found that elevated tissue RBP4 levels correlate with disease severity in alopecia areata and decrease after effective baricitinib treatment, while the rs3758539 polymorphism is linked to disease susceptibility but not to treatment response.
