May 2024 in “Archives of dermatological research” This study found that Enz_MoriL, a compound derived from Morus alba L., promotes hair follicle cell proliferation by affecting the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and can counteract an alopecia areata-like condition by suppressing the JAK-STAT signaling in human hair follicle dermal papilla cells.
January 2022 in “Journal of St. Marianna University” This study investigated how secretions from cultured human hair follicle-derived keratinocytes affect gene expression in human follicle dermal papilla cells to understand their signaling interactions.
May 2020 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study found that hair-type tissues in hedgehogs show higher enrichment of immune-related genes compared to spine-type tissues, suggesting that spines evolved to protect against injuries and infections.
September 2020 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study found that zebrafish and stickleback fish use similar genetic programs for tooth regeneration, despite differences in their dental structures.

November 2012 in “SLAS discovery” This study observed that certain herbal extracts may promote hair growth and inhibit hair loss in cell lines by affecting specific protein expressions similarly to minoxidil.
