,
August 1987 in “Archives of Dermatology” In this study, researchers found that Langerhans' cells likely do not play a role in the depigmentation process in C57Bl/Ler-vit.vit mice, as their number was normal during depigmentation and highest afterward.
May 2023 in “The Journal of Immunology” In this study of C3H/HeJ mice, researchers observed that alopecia areata is associated with the expansion of exhausted-memory CD8 T cells in multiple organs, with autoreactive activation not fully explained by known mechanisms, shedding light on the immunological dynamics underlying the condition.
6 citations
,
August 1975 in “Journal of Endocrinology” This study found that cortisol and corticosterone led to thinning of the epidermis and hair follicle regression in fetal mouse skin, while testosterone promoted differentiation and sebaceous gland development.
1 citations
,

October 2020 in “Frontiers in cell and developmental biology” This study found that WWOX deficiency in mice leads to impaired skin development, reduced epidermal thickness, and significant hypothermia due to disrupted cell proliferation and homeostasis.
May 2007 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Hair can regrow in adult mice's skin after injury, and this process can be boosted by increasing Wnt7a, a protein. This could potentially help treat baldness and change our understanding of hair growth.
May 2007 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Hair can regrow in adult mice's skin after injury, and this regrowth doesn't come from existing hair cells but from skin cells in the wound, with Wnt7a protein helping this process. This could help treat baldness and scarring.
