October 2017 in “Stem Cell Reports” The study demonstrated that Alkaline Ceramidase 1 (ACER1) was crucial for maintaining the homeostasis of hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) and preventing premature hair loss in mice by regulating ceramide metabolism. Mice lacking the Acer1 gene showed increased ceramide levels, leading to HFSC depletion, disrupted hair follicle cycling, and progressive hair loss. The absence of ACER1 resulted in morphological changes in hair follicles, lipid accumulation, and impaired hair structure and function. The research highlighted the importance of ACER1 in regulating ceramide metabolism and maintaining HFSC homeostasis, suggesting its potential as a target for treating hair loss conditions.
