4 citations
,
August 2023 in “Nature Communications” In this study, researchers observed that the combination of hair progenitors and their micro-niche changes every three days in mouse zigzag hair, and disruptions in specific genes affected this rhythm, highlighting the importance of this periodic change for normal hair morphology.
4 citations
,
December 2014 in “European Journal of Chemistry” This study synthesized and characterized new 2-hydroxypyrrolidine/piperidine derivatives using FeCl₃·6H₂O as a catalyst, but it reports no biological or clinical results.

,
February 2014 in “Asian Pacific journal of tropical medicine” This study observed that Wnt5a mRNA expression in mice correlates with the hair cycle and inhibits hair follicle growth by antagonizing the Wnts pathway.
3 citations
,
June 2006 in “Expert Review of Dermatology” This review discusses recent advances in hair follicle research, highlighting therapeutic and cosmetic applications, but reports no new study results.
1 citations
,
September 2023 in “eLife” This study found that TLR2 expression in hair follicle stem cells is crucial for hair follicle maintenance and regeneration, with TLR2-dependent activation potentially offering new therapeutic approaches for hair loss prevention through mechanisms involving immune pathways and CEP administration.

,
August 2019 in “Research Square (Research Square)” In this study, researchers found that the cashmere hair growth cycle is divided into three periods and key genes like KAP and KRTAP are positively correlated with these cycles in cashmere goats.
October 2022 in “Asian journal of healthy and science” This study found that a 20% concentration of mother-in-law's tongue leaf extract promoted hair growth in male rabbits, with effectiveness comparable to a positive control.
September 2020 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study reported the expression patterns and potential functions of long non-coding RNAs in the hair follicle cycle of yak, with insights into their sequence conservation between yak and cashmere goat.
August 1994 in “Molecular Endocrinology” This study found that AtT-20 pituitary cells with higher cAMP-dependent kinase activity had larger calcium currents and significantly increased beta-endorphin release compared to cells with lower kinase activity.
December 2020 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” In this study, 25% of CCHCR1-deficient mice exposed to stress developed hair loss similar to human alopecia areata, suggesting CCHCR1 is a susceptibility gene for the disease.
3 citations
,
September 1980 in “Experientia” In this study, the pharmacological action of dobutamine on rabbit retinae was found to be distinct from that of other dopamine analogs like apomorphine and N-methyl-dopamine.
175 citations
,
December 2014 in “PLoS Biology” This study found that macrophages near hair follicles contribute to the activation of skin epithelial stem cells in mice, suggesting a novel role for macrophages in regulating hair growth.
22 citations
,
September 2015 in “Fertility and Sterility” In this study, abnormal glucose tolerance was found to be prevalent among young Indian women with PCOS, and the use of an oral glucose tolerance test significantly improved its detection.

,
January 2016 in “Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications” In this study, researchers found that ginsenoside Re from Panax ginseng increased hair shaft length and duration in mice, comparable to minoxidil, by modulating TGF-β signaling pathways.
14 citations
,
May 2013 in “Experimental Dermatology” This study found that the modified wash test was generally more effective than TrichoScan® for diagnosing hair loss, particularly telogen effluvium, though both methods showed only fair concordance with clinical diagnosis.
9 citations
,
July 2014 in “Experimental Dermatology” This study suggests that while PTH rP initially seemed to shorten the hair cycle by transitioning hair follicles from anagen to catagen, more relevant models indicate it ultimately accelerates and stimulates hair growth.
9 citations
,
September 2009 in “The Prostate” In this study, finasteride doubled the duration of the first off-cycle in intermittent androgen deprivation therapy for mice with LNCaP tumors but did not improve overall survival.
