January 2023 in “Pharmaceutics” In this study, researchers developed a new topical atraric acid formulation, AA-TF#15, which showed a significantly higher drug penetration and increased hair regrowth in mice compared to minoxidil and finasteride treatments, suggesting its potential effectiveness for treating scalp androgenic alopecia.
November 2024 in “Journal of Translational Internal Medicine” This study found that umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes improved hair growth in mice with androgenetic alopecia by promoting hair follicle stem cell stemness through the RAS/ERK pathway, suggesting a potential new treatment strategy for this condition.
This study found that transgenic safflower oil bodies expressing oleosin-rhFGF9 promoted significant hair regrowth and wound healing in mice compared to control groups.
January 2017 in “Jikken doubutsu ihou/Jikken doubutsu/Experimental animals/Jikken Dobutsu” This study found that in transgenic mice overexpressing a mutant hairless gene, changes in its expression affected hair loss and regrowth, implicating the gene's role in hair follicle biology.

April 2005 in “Experimental dermatology” This study found that PGF2alpha analogues and PGE2 stimulated hair follicle activity in mice, with PGF2alpha analogues also linked to potential side effects like poliosis when used as eye treatments.
