January 2016 in “International Journal of Medical Sciences” This study found that Wnt10b promotes the proliferation of hair follicle stem cells and hair precortex cells, revealing them as target cells in Wnt10b-induced hair follicle regeneration.
December 2015 in “OPAL (Open@LaTrobe) (La Trobe University)” This study found that estrogen treatment induced premature catagen and apoptosis in hair follicles of wild-type mice, while having no effect on mice lacking estrogen receptor α.

July 2012 in “PLOS ONE” This study found that estrogen can cause reversible suppression of the hair cycle by inducing premature catagen and maintaining the telogen phase without damaging the hair follicle stem cell niche or the signature gene expressions of dermal papilla cells.

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.
March 2010 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” This study found that both epithelial and hair keratins are expressed in beard hair medulla cells, exhibiting unique patterns and interactions distinct from other hair follicle and epithelial cells.
