October 2023 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” A protein called EGFR protects hair follicle stem cells, and when it's disrupted, hair follicles can be damaged, but blocking certain pathways can restore hair growth.
May 2023 in “Research Square (Research Square)” Shi-Bi-Man activates hair follicle stem cells and promotes hair growth by changing lactic acid metabolism and other cellular processes.
December 2022 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” MicroRNA-205 helps hair grow by changing the stiffness and contraction of hair follicle cells.

December 2021 in “Research Square (Research Square)” Hair follicle sampling is a feasible method to measure FMRP and FMR1 mRNA levels in children.
May 2020 in “Research Square (Research Square)” Researchers found four key stages of cell development that are important for hair growth and shedding in cashmere goats.
April 2020 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” Skin healing from blisters can delay hair growth as stem cells focus on repairing skin over developing hair.
