November 2013 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study found that the selective PPARγ modulator GMG-43AC may inhibit unwanted hair growth by inducing catagen phase while preserving hair follicle epithelial progenitor cells, suggesting potential in anti-hirsutism therapy.
April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” In ex vivo organ culture of human scalp hair follicles, this study found that IL-9 signaling inhibits hair growth, reduces progenitor cell generation, and disrupts immune privilege.
