The study investigated the effects of Lactobacillus (LAB) and fermented traditional Korean berry (FB) on hair growth in six-week-old male C57BL/6 mice. The mice were treated orally with LAB and FB for 22 days, resulting in a significant increase in hair re-growth rate compared to the control group. Histological analysis showed an increase in the number of hair follicles and subcutaneous fat layer thickness in the FB group. Additionally, mRNA expression levels of hair growth-related growth factors such as VEGF and IGF-1 were significantly increased in both the colon and skin. The treatment also altered the composition of the gut microbiome and short-chain fatty acids. The findings suggest that LAB and FB supplementation may promote hair growth by regulating growth factors and altering gut microbiota compositions.

December 2022 in “Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications” This study investigated the role of HtrA2 serine protease activity in hair cycle regulation using mnd2 mutant mice. The researchers observed that mnd2 mice exhibited a delay in the transition from the telogen to anagen phase of the hair cycle, which was associated with a differential skin color change compared to wild-type mice. Histological and molecular assays revealed that HtrA2 inactivation led to growth retardation of adipocytes in the subcutaneous skin layer, contributing to the delayed hair cycle. These findings highlight the essential role of HtrA2 in regulating the adipogenesis-associated hair cycle.
