May 2024 in “Animal Biotechnology” In cashmere goats, this study found that reducing miR-361-5p levels activates secondary hair follicle stem cells by upregulating the FOXM1 gene, which in turn stimulates the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, crucial for cashmere fiber morphogenesis.

June 2018 in “Plant & cell physiology/Plant and cell physiology” This study found that overexpressing PLC5 in Arabidopsis thaliana reduced root growth but improved drought tolerance, and suggests PIP2 is crucial for root hair growth.
February 2026 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” This study found that knocking down the gene SFRP1 in human hair follicles ex vivo prolonged the hair growth phase and increased keratinocyte proliferation, suggesting potential as a therapeutic target for maintaining hair growth in male pattern baldness, while DKK1 knockdown showed no effect.
