May 2003 in “Development” The study demonstrated that Myc activation in transgenic mice led to the depletion of the epidermal stem cell compartment by altering adhesive interactions with the local microenvironment. This was evidenced by changes in gene expression, particularly the downregulation of genes related to cell adhesion and the extracellular matrix, such as integrins and collagens. Myc activation promoted differentiation into sebocytes and interfollicular epidermis rather than hair lineages, impairing cell adhesion, spreading, and motility. These effects were linked to decreased formation of hemidesmosomes and reduced expression of extracellular matrix proteins, contributing to delayed wound healing and altered keratinocyte behavior. The findings highlighted Myc's role in modulating stem cell behavior, impacting skin biology and diseases related to stem cell dysfunction.

March 2006 in “Journal of Chromatography B” The review from 2006 discussed the potential of using hair analysis to monitor veterinary drug misuse in livestock. It highlighted the advantages of hair as a matrix for drug detection, such as its non-invasive collection and the ability to retain drug residues longer than other biological samples like urine or blood. However, the review noted that studies on veterinary hair analysis were limited and faced challenges, including the need for reliable analytical methods to detect low concentrations of drugs and the influence of various factors on drug accumulation in hair. Despite these challenges, hair analysis was considered promising for detecting anabolic agents and other drugs in livestock, offering a retrospective detection advantage.

November 2017 in “Histochemistry and Cell Biology” The study examined the expression and distribution of polyamines—spermine, spermidine, and putrescine—in rat hair follicles, revealing that these compounds were most abundant in the matrix, Huxley’s layer, deeper Henle’s layer, and the cuticle of the inner root sheath/hair cuticle. This suggested that these areas had a higher biological potential in anagen hair follicles, potentially playing a critical role in hair growth. Additionally, differences in staining patterns between spermine/spermidine and putrescine in epidermal cells and fibroblasts were observed, indicating possible applications for these findings in researching hair cycles and epidermal tumor genesis.
