,
July 2022 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study found that oral administration of Thauera sp. strain GDN1 reduced serum androgen levels in male mice by about 50%, suggesting its potential as a probiotic treatment for hyperandrogenism.
2 citations
,
June 2022 in “Scientific reports” In this study, one type of commercial culture medium supported expression of stem cell markers in hair follicle epithelial stem cells, but their differentiation potential and hair follicle-inducing ability declined over time.
2 citations
,
May 2022 in “Stem cell research & therapy” This study found that hair follicle stem cells in the hairpoor mouse, a model for Marie-Unna hypotrichosis, lose their quiescent state, leading to a disordered hair cycle and contributing to alopecia.

,
April 2024 in “Journal of Pharmaceutical and Pharmacological Sciences” This study evaluated androgen-induced hair loss and anagen induction mouse models, finding that Minoxidil and Pyrilutamide significantly promoted hair growth by decreasing androgen receptor protein levels and enhancing the Wnt/β-Catenin signaling pathway, supporting their use in studying novel treatments for androgenetic alopecia.
1 citations
,
June 2006 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” This study found that photoepilation in mice may disrupt normal dermal wound healing and increase the risk of hypertrophic scars or keloids.

April 2026 in “Experimental & Molecular Medicine” This study used integrated single-cell chromatin and transcriptomic analyses in developing mouse skin to uncover gene networks involved in skin lineage specification and identified Mef2c+ upper fibroblasts as potential precursors to certain muscle-like structures, with cross-species findings in human skin.
March 2026 in “Archives of Dermatological Research” Amlodipine cream may help hair growth by improving blood flow.
January 2026 in “SSRN Electronic Journal” December 2025 in “Biology” In this study, researchers observed that chronic stress affected wild-derived house mice differently by sex, with females showing less weight gain and distinct behavioral changes, while males exhibited higher hair corticosterone levels, suggesting divergent coping strategies and implications for sex-specific stress assessment protocols.
November 2025 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Certain CD8+ T cells attack hair follicles in alopecia areata, suggesting they could be targeted for treatment.
October 2025 in “Preprints.org” In this study, chronic unpredictable stress affected male and female wild-derived house mice differently; stressed females gained less weight, had long grooming times, and lower immobility in tests, while stressed males showed increased hair corticosterone levels and shorter immobility times.
