April 2020 in “PLoS ONE” In this study, RNA-Seq analysis identified 2717 genes differentially expressed between anagen and telogen hair follicle stem cells in cashmere goats, potentially involving several signaling pathways in vitro.
December 2024 in “Frontiers in Veterinary Science” This study on Dorper sheep identified important genetic factors influencing hair follicle development, finding that expression patterns and genes like DBI, FZD3, and ZDHHC21 play a crucial role in wool shedding, which could help improve understanding of mammalian skin-related traits and human hair advancement.
April 2025 in “Journal of Pharmaceutical Investigation” In this study, injectable microdepots containing rapamycin and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) were developed and demonstrated to effectively promote hair regrowth in mice by sustaining drug release and inducing anagen phase transition in hair follicles through modulating autophagy and the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
