September 2018 in “Journal of Molecular Cell Biology” This study observed that Endoglin is crucial for maintaining correct hair follicle cycling and stimulating hair follicle stem cell niches through feedback interactions involving Wnt/β-catenin and Bmp/Smad signaling pathways in a mouse model.
December 2017 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study found that Endoglin is crucial for proper hair follicle cycling and the activation of hair follicle stem cell niches, based on its role in the feedback crosstalk between Wnt/β-catenin and Bmp/Smad signals.
August 2026 in “Clinical Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology” This study highlights the potential of stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles to treat UV-induced skin damage by modulating key signaling pathways, though challenges like EV composition variability and skin barrier penetration remain, underscoring the need for further research into optimized delivery methods for effective therapies.
