June 2024 in “Benha Journal of Applied Sciences” This study found that β1 integrin expression may serve as an indicator of androgenetic alopecia severity and could be involved in the disease's development.
April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that the dermal sheath smooth muscle regulates hair follicle progenitor cell death during hair regression through mechanical signaling of the TGF-β pathway.
This study found that αvβ6 integrin inhibits keratinocyte proliferation during wound healing and hair regeneration, suggesting its downregulation may enhance recovery and influence epidermal stem cell behavior.
