November 2010 in “Pigment cell & melanoma research” This article discusses the challenges in hair follicle pigmentation research compared to epidermal melanocytes and highlights the limitations of relying on mouse models, but reports no new experimental findings.
April 2017 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” In this study, researchers found that in adult mice, new hair follicles with pigmentation can regenerate from the epidermis after skin wounding, aided by melanocyte stem cells moving from nearby existing hair follicles.
April 2024 in “Pigment cell & melanoma research” This study explored the diversity of melanocyte stem cell subpopulations in the hair follicles of adult female mice and identified novel groups with distinct immune privilege regulation, suggesting a heterogeneous landscape that future research should consider.
September 2023 in “Curēus” This study found that individuals with alopecia areata showed differences in otoacoustic emissions, suggesting potential links between the condition and auditory dysfunction, with significant gender and age group variations observed in hearing test results.
