April 2022 in “Cell Biology International” This study found that JAM-A modification in mouse wound models significantly promoted wound healing and fibroblast proliferation, potentially linked to increased levels of growth factors bFGF and EGF.
March 2024 in “Bioactive Materials” This study found that modifying adipose-derived stem cells to overexpress the adhesion protein JAM-A increased the adhesion and resilience of dermal papilla cells in the context of androgenic alopecia, potentially facilitating hair regrowth despite challenges such as damage from dihydrotestosterone and macrophages.
August 2022 in “Precision Clinical Medicine” This study found that the 3' UTR of JAM-A acts as a key competing endogenous RNA that supports dermal papilla cell function and hair follicle regeneration in alopecia areata.
