This study identified a novel SCF mRNA splice variant in white merino sheep skin, which may play a role in hair follicle melanogenesis.

In this study, the combination of SCF and ET-1 was found to significantly enhance skin pigmentation and melanin content in human skin xenografts on SCID mice compared to either treatment alone.

This study suggests that the paradoxical effects of androgens on hair growth are due to differential gene expression in hair follicles, possibly established during embryogenesis.

This study found that in a shaving animal model of mice, increased enzyme activities and gene expression correlated with enhanced hair growth, suggesting they are good biomarkers in the anagen phase.

In this study, knockout of B-raf and C-raf genes in mice showed they are not needed for early melanocyte development, but are crucial for maintaining melanocyte stem cells, as evidenced by hair graying due to stem cell depletion.
