October 2018 in “Archives of Dermatological Research” The researchers reported that topical tofacitinib in mice increased hair follicles in the growth phase and boosted noggin and BMP4 mRNA expressions, compared to a vehicle and minoxidil.

November 2017 in “General and comparative endocrinology” This study found that BMP2 and BMPR-IA inhibited, while Noggin promoted, hair follicle growth in yaks by affecting skin epithelial cell activity.
January 2009 in “Bradford Scholars (University of Bradford)” The study observed that the tumor suppressor activity of bone morphogenetic proteins in mouse skin epithelium depends on Noggin levels, inhibiting Wnt and Shh signaling pathways to prevent tumor initiation and progression.

December 2000 in “The EMBO Journal” Inhibiting Bmp signaling disrupts hair growth and differentiation.

October 2001 in “The FASEB Journal” This study found that the BMP antagonist noggin induces hair growth in postnatal skin by neutralizing BMP4's inhibitory activity, potentially mediated by changes in Shh expression.
