July 2023 in “Chinese Medicine” This study found that Shi-Bi-Man significantly promotes hair regeneration in cynomolgus monkeys by increasing hair follicle stem cells and up-regulating metabolic pathways.
April 2026 in “Stem Cell Reviews and Reports”
This study found that inhibiting the Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier in human scalp hair follicles caused metabolic stress that halted cell proliferation and disrupted key signaling pathways, with these effects partially reversed by an integrated stress response inhibitor.
This presentation suggests that the activation of TRPV3 channels by fruit acids and carvacrol contributes to exfoliation and may underlie the skin-resurfacing effects of chemical peels.
September 2016 in “Journal of dermatological science” The researchers reported that the OVOL1-OVOL2 axis may play a role in hair follicle differentiation and tumorigenesis, and OVOL1 and OVOL2 are potential diagnostic markers for pilomatricoma and pilomatrix carcinoma.
January 2010 in “DukeSpace (Duke University)” This study suggests that both the Wnt and Notch signaling pathways are activated during hematopoietic stem cell regeneration after radiation or chemotherapy injury, with beta-catenin being critical for Wnt-mediated regeneration.

January 2024 in “Figshare” Activating autophagy in hair follicle stem cells can lead to hair growth and repair by affecting sugar metabolism.
This study found that inhibiting AP-1 transcription factors in mice causes squamous tumors to transform into sebaceous tumors and regulates tumor cell lineage.
This study found that inhibiting AP-1 activity in mice can induce lineage transdifferentiation between squamous and sebaceous tumors, suggesting AP-1's role in maintaining tumor cell identity.
May 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Activating Wnt in skin cells controls the number of hair follicles by directing cell movement and fate.
