June 2026 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This source describes SH‑1 as a next-generation androgen receptor antagonist designed for localized treatment of androgenetic alopecia, aiming to reverse follicular miniaturization while maintaining endocrine balance. Unlike traditional therapies, SH‑1 offers tissue-specific action, avoiding systemic effects.

January 2010 in “Methods in Enzymology” This review discusses five genetic fate mapping methods used to study cell behaviors during development and regeneration, detailing the necessary tools and considerations without reporting new experimental results.
This study found that activating Hedgehog signaling in both epithelial and stromal cells can induce new hair follicles in adult mice, but this also leads to tumor formation.
Activin A and Follistatin affect how mouse hair follicles grow.
This study found that the protein Formin 2 helps regulate cell-to-cell transport in thale cress by stabilizing actin filaments at plasmodesmata, with its absence leading to increased permeability and vulnerability to viral infections.

August 2023 in “Regenerative Therapy” This study proposes a reporting guideline, CLINIC - STRA-SVF, to standardize and improve the design and reporting of clinical studies involving SVF, highlighting its safety and effectiveness despite the low level of current evidence.
March 2026 in “Preprints.org” In this study, plerixafor was found to enhance melanogenesis and promote repigmentation by engaging a β-arrestin–β-catenin–MITF signaling axis in melanocytes, and showed effectiveness in restoring depigmentation in a murine model without causing systemic toxicity.

July 2024 in “New Phytologist” In this study, researchers identified that three homologous genes—ZmSPL10, ZmSPL14, and ZmSPL26—are crucial for the development of stigmatic papilla in maize, with triple knockout mutants lacking these genes showing almost no stigmatic papilla and significantly reduced kernel setting.
November 2022 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study used single-cell and spatial transcriptomic profiling to identify specific molecular markers in human follicular dermal papilla cells, enhancing understanding of their role in hair follicle development.
