,
January 2022 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” In this study, researchers found that the KLHL24-ΔN28 protein variant disrupts hair follicle stem cells in a mouse model, leading to premature hair loss by degrading keratin 15.
October 2025 in “Coloration Technology” In this study, a new delipidisation method that removes over 97% of key lipids from wool rapidly and without yellowing was reported to improve wool processing and printing quality.

13 citations
,
September 2017 in “Oncotarget” This study suggests that increased Wnt signaling may cause melanocyte stem cell exhaustion, leading to hair graying in aged mice by promoting excessive differentiation of melanocytes.
January 2004 in “Giornale di Metafisica: revista bimestrale di filosofia” This study suggests that increased Wnt signaling may promote excessive differentiation of melanocytes, leading to exhaustion of melanocyte stem cells and hair graying in aged mice.

,
April 2020 in “Journal of Mind and Medical Sciences” This study concluded that excessive use of psychodynamic defense mechanisms can increase the risk of burnout and secondary traumatic stress in caregivers, while compassion satisfaction might mitigate emotional exhaustion.
1 citations
,
October 2023 in “Life science alliance” This study observed that pantethine, a vitamin B5 precursor, attenuates tumor growth in immunocompetent mice by enhancing antitumor immunity, but its effect is limited by immune cell exhaustion over time.
May 2024 in “JCI insight” In this study, researchers discovered a dominant variant in the ADAM17 gene that causes hypotrichosis with woolly hair, where the mutation leads to hair follicle stem cell exhaustion and abnormal hair follicles, resulting in alopecia.
April 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” In this study, engineered mice with a mutation similar to that in Olmsted syndrome showed progressive hair loss due to impaired inner root sheath keratinocyte differentiation and stem cell exhaustion.
