July 2013 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” This study found that interleukin-10 deficiency in B6 mice led to inflammatory milk production due to maternal stress, causing alopecia and hepatocyte steatosis in pups.
May 2026 in “Frontiers in Endocrinology” In a mouse model, this study found that exposure to PM2.5 leads to significant postpartum hair loss, apparent via morphological changes and elevated markers of inflammation, apoptosis, and fibrosis, potentially exacerbated by changes in hormone receptors and stem cell populations.
July 2022 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study suggests that particulate matter can induce inflammation in human outer root sheath cells, potentially affecting hair growth, through oxidative stress-dependent MAPK and JAK-STAT signaling pathways.

June 2024 in “British Journal of Dermatology” This study found that treatment with EGFR inhibitors or mitogen-activated kinase inhibitors may compromise the immune privilege of human scalp hair follicles, suggesting new directions for managing drug-induced folliculitis.
July 2022 in “British Journal of Dermatology” This study found that epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors used in cancer treatment induce a distinct inflammatory response in hair follicles, marked by immune privilege collapse and upregulation of inflammatory pathways.
