September 2012 in “Aesthetic Plastic Surgery” This study found that prolonged topical application of minoxidil significantly increased skin flap survival in rats by promoting angiogenesis compared to shorter application or a saline control.
January 2024 in “Journal of developmental biology” In this study, researchers observed that abdominal wounds in laboratory rats healed faster, completing epithelialization in 20 days versus 30 days for back wounds, possibly due to a higher expression of skin stem cell marker genes in the abdominal area.
In this study, penetration of FA-PLGA nanoparticles into hair follicles was observed in excised dog, rat, and porcine skin, with the deepest penetration in porcine skin, suggesting its similarity to human skin for drug delivery studies.

January 2001 in “Biomedical Research” This study found that peptidylarginine deiminase type III and trichohyalin are coincidentally expressed in the infant rat hair follicle, but trichohyalin deimination occurs after their expression during development.
January 2001 in “Biomedical Research” This study observed that PAD type III and trichohyalin are expressed earlier than their deiminated form during the first and second hair cycles in rat hair follicles, indicating a potential additional factor is involved in triggering deimination.
