October 2007 in “Journal of Biological Chemistry” This study concluded that dilated cardiomyopathy in Ctsl-deficient mice is mainly due to the lack of cathepsin L in cardiomyocytes, with additional heart stress from the fur defect.
October 2025 in “Cell Reports” This study found that regulatory T cells accumulate in hair follicle epithelium via the Cxcr4-Cxcl12 axis, partially influenced by glucocorticoid receptor signaling, promoting hair regeneration; similar mechanisms were observed in human and murine skin.
This study found that TLR2 in hair follicle stem cells is crucial for maintaining hair health and regeneration, and its decrease in aging and obesity may impair hair growth, suggesting that stimulation through its ligand carboxyethylpyrrole could offer new therapeutic avenues.
