September 2015 in “Elsevier eBooks” SOX2 is crucial for skin cell function and hair growth, and it plays a role in skin cancer and wound healing.
November 2024 in “Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications” The study investigates hair loss in spontaneously mutated inbred C57BL/6 mice, which exhibit a delayed catagen phase in the hair cycle, leading to cyclic alopecia. The research identifies significant differential expression of genes related to keratinization, such as Krt16, Alox15, and Msx2, with Krt6b levels notably higher in hair loss mice across all hair cycle stages. These findings suggest that the abnormal expression of these genes contributes to the hair loss phenotype. The study provides a model for understanding hair loss mechanisms and developing potential treatments for alopecia.

December 2009 in “The FASEB Journal” The study aimed to identify new hair-growth inducers using connectivity mapping (Cmap) and gene expression profiling. Researchers analyzed gene expression in mice treated with cyclosporin A (CsA), a known hair-growth inducer, and identified several agents with similar gene signatures. Fluphenazine, identified from the day 2 signature, successfully induced hair growth in vivo, and its effect was enhanced by subsequent application of iloprost, identified from the day 4 signature. The study demonstrated that Cmap analysis was effective in linking gene expression profiles to potential hair-growth agents, suggesting a promising method for discovering treatments for hair cycle disorders.
