May 1996 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The study investigated the role of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) in hair follicle function using transgenic mice that overexpressed a mutated ODC transgene in hair follicle keratinocytes. These mice experienced normal initial hair growth but lost their hair completely 2-3 weeks after birth, coinciding with the onset of ODC overexpression and the development of follicular cysts. The study found that the ODC inhibitor 2-difluoromethylornithine could prevent hair loss and partially restore normal skin histology if administered early, and it could also reactivate hair growth in mice with complete hair loss. The results suggested that ODC played a crucial regulatory role in mouse hair follicles.
