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 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.

May 2006 in “Developmental Dynamics” This review discusses the role of jumonji family proteins in chromatin regulation and development, highlighting their involvement in transcriptional repression and histone demethylation, but reports no new experimental findings.
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.

December 2016 in “PloS one” This study found that Keratin 26 is expressed differently in hair follicle phases, particularly during catagen and telogen, influencing cashmere growth and interacting antagonistically with the BMP signaling pathway.
