June 1999 in “Mechanisms of Development” The study investigated the role of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) in hair follicles, revealing its importance in hair growth and follicle development. ODC, essential for polyamine synthesis, was crucial for hair growth, as its inhibition resulted in decreased hair growth and alopecia in various animals. The research showed that ODC expression was significant during the anagen phase of the hair cycle, especially in the follicle bulb, but absent in the catagen and telogen phases. Additionally, ODC was linked to cell proliferation and was vital during embryonic follicle development, indicating its significant role in hair follicle function and hair growth processes.

December 2001 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The study introduced a tracheal xenotransplantation assay to investigate epithelialization, hair follicle formation, and tumorigenesis using primary epidermal cells from both wild-type and transgenic mice. It demonstrated that keratinocytes overexpressing ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) combined with v-Ha-ras infection became invasive and malignant, whereas those expressing only one of these factors did not. The assay was also effective for hair follicle reconstitution, with fresh keratinocytes and fibroblasts forming hair follicles more successfully than cultured cells. This system provided a controlled environment to explore keratinocyte physiology, gene expression, and hair follicle development, particularly when cell numbers were limited.
