May 1995 in “Anatomy and Embryology” This study found that treating neonatal mice with the neurotoxin 6-OHDA resulted in temporary hair loss and thinner skin compared to control mice, linking sympathetic neurons to hair growth and skin thickness.
July 2025 in “Avicenna Journal of Medicine” In this study, traditionally prepared ant oil reduced hair regrowth by about 50% in neonatal mice without causing skin irritation, suggesting its potential as a natural alternative for managing unwanted hair, although further research is needed to confirm these effects.
This study found that platelet-rich plasma improved the development and maturation of the skin and hair follicles in neonatal mice compared to a saline control.

July 2008 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” This study found that ephrin-A3 accelerates hair follicle development and increases hair follicle density in neonatal mice, suggesting its involvement in hair growth regulation.
This study observed that activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway enhances hair follicle stem cell proliferation and differentiation, promoting hair growth and wound healing, and demonstrated the potential for outer root sheath transplants to aid skin repair, although challenges remain for clinical application.
