August 2023 in “Nature Communications” In this study, researchers observed that the combination of hair progenitors and their micro-niche changes every three days in mouse zigzag hair, and disruptions in specific genes affected this rhythm, highlighting the importance of this periodic change for normal hair morphology.
April 2024 in “International journal of molecular sciences” This review examined and discussed the role of dermis-derived factors in the regulation of melanogenesis, noting their significance in both normal and abnormal mammalian skin conditions, suggesting an underexplored area of study compared to dermal and epidermal influences.
April 2025 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” In this study, aged mice showed better regenerative skin outcomes than young mice, linked to a specific fibroblast subpopulation and enhanced signaling interactions that promote regeneration. EREG treatment improved young mice's skin regeneration, suggesting potential for scarless therapies.
October 2024 in “Small Methods” This study found that dissolving microneedles loaded with platinum nanozymes induced faster hair growth in an androgenetic alopecia model than daily minoxidil applications, with no significant safety concerns.
