November 2024 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The study investigates the role of Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling in wound healing and its necessity for hair follicle neogenesis (HFN) in mice. It was found that TGF-β signaling is crucial for collagen deposition in the wound dermis, which is essential for initiating HFN. The research showed that macrophages are key in sending TGF-β signals to fibroblasts, and the absence of TGF-β1 secretion from macrophages impairs HFN. Conditional knockout of TGF-β receptor 2 in fibroblasts before re-epithelialization inhibited HFN, but not after. Additionally, knocking out collagen type I, a downstream component of TGF-β signaling, also inhibited HFN. However, activating the Sonic hedgehog pathway could rescue HFN, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for hair regeneration.

The study investigates the effects of Qu-shi-yu-fa Decoction (QSYF) on androgenetic alopecia (AGA) using a mouse model. QSYF was found to significantly accelerate hair regeneration by promoting the transition of hair follicles from the telogen to anagen phase, increasing hair bulb diameter and skin thickness. The decoction upregulated the expression of FOXN1 and TGM3, enhancing the proliferative activity of hair follicle papilla cells and regulating the hair cycle and keratinization process. Additionally, QSYF activated key signaling pathways such as PI3K-AKT and MAPK, demonstrating its therapeutic potential for AGA. The study highlights QSYF's potential as a novel treatment strategy for AGA by identifying new therapeutic targets.
