April 2022 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” Hair loss in men (androgenetic alopecia) is significantly linked to decreased scalp sensitivity, but not temperature sensitivity.

November 2024 in “Genomics” This study investigates how melatonin influences hair growth in cashmere goats by promoting the proliferation of dermal papilla cells (DPCs) through the chi-let-7d-5p/WNT2 axis. Melatonin, which is regulated by environmental factors like light, enhances cashmere production by increasing the density of secondary hair follicles. The research identified 170 differentially expressed miRNAs during melatonin-induced hair follicle growth, with chi-let-7d-5p being a key miRNA that negatively regulates WNT2 expression. The findings suggest that melatonin down-regulates chi-let-7d-5p, thereby promoting WNT2 expression and DPC proliferation, elucidating a molecular mechanism for melatonin's role in hair follicle development.
