November 2015 in “Gene” In this study, TGFβR I was more highly expressed in alpaca ear skin than in back skin, suggesting it may inhibit coat hair growth, with let-7b downregulating TGFβR I protein through transcriptional repression.
March 2026 in “Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology” This review reports that transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms in epithelial stem cells guide their fate in the epidermis and hair follicles, crucial for skin homeostasis, but disruptions can lead to disease.

December 2021 in “PLoS Genetics” This study found that PRC2 plays a non-instructive role in adult hair follicle stem cells, with its loss not affecting quiescence or cell identity, despite upregulation of genes linked to activation.
