May 2024 in “Archives of dermatological research” This study found that Enz_MoriL, a compound derived from Morus alba L., promotes hair follicle cell proliferation by affecting the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and can counteract an alopecia areata-like condition by suppressing the JAK-STAT signaling in human hair follicle dermal papilla cells.
January 2025 in “Biomedicines” In this study, female rats given high doses of testosterone showed decreased endometrial thickness and lower mRNA levels of components in the LIF signalling pathway, indicating that excessive testosterone may negatively impact endometrial receptivity and potentially affect fertility.

December 2016 in “Journal of Dermatological Treatment” This study reviewed the role of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway in skin diseases and the potential of JAK inhibitors for treating conditions like psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Although the findings are promising, the authors concluded it is premature to establish their place in dermatological treatments.
November 2023 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study found that in mice, hyper-activated JAK-STAT1 signaling due to EGFR inhibitor treatment leads to scarring alopecia, but JAK1/2 inhibition can restore hair follicle immune privilege and promote new hair growth.

July 2021 in “Bioscience Reports” In this study, activation of Tgr5 was found to improve alopecia areata and bone microstructure in mice by down-regulating the JAK1-STAT3 signaling pathway.
