Humans lost body hair relatively recently in evolution.

research Combinatorial Therapy of Letrozole- and Quercetin-Loaded Spanlastics for Enhanced Cytotoxicity against MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cells

39 citations , August 2022 in “Pharmaceutics”

This study found that the combination of letrozole and quercetin loaded in spanlastics showed enhanced cytotoxicity and other anticancer effects against MCF-7 breast cancer cells compared to individual treatments.

research AMPK Phosphorylates ZDHHC13 to Increase MC1R Activity and Suppress Melanomagenesis

24 citations , January 2023 in “Cancer Research”

This study suggests that activating AMPK to phosphorylate ZDHHC13 may enhance MC1R function and reduce melanoma risk in individuals with red hair.

research Melanocortin receptor type 2 (MC2R, ACTH receptor) expression in patients with alopecia areata

22 citations , June 2010 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This study reported that patients with alopecia areata have reduced expression of the melanocortin receptor MC2R in their scalp tissues compared to normal scalp, indicating potential involvement in the condition's pathophysiology.

New Effects of Caffeine on Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone (CRH)-Induced Stress Along the Intrafollicular Classical Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) Axis (CRH-R1/2, IP3-R, ACTH, MC-R2) and the Neurogenic Non-HPA Axis (Substance P, p75NTR and TrkA) in Ex Vivo Human Male Androgenetic Scalp Hair Follicles

research New effects of caffeine on corticotropin‐releasing hormone (CRH)‐induced stress along the intrafollicular classical hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis (CRH‐R1/2, IP₃‐R, ACTH, MC‐R2) and the neurogenic non‐HPA axis (substance P, p75^NTRand TrkA) inex vivohuman male androgenetic scalp hair follicles

12 citations , April 2020 in “British Journal of Dermatology”
