    TLDR miR-129-5p affects hair growth by targeting the HOXC13 gene.
    The study, involving 15 rabbits, explored the role of miR-129-5p in hair follicle growth by targeting the HOXC13 gene. It was found that miR-129-5p was overexpressed during the catagen phase and negatively correlated with HOXC13 expression. Overexpression of miR-129-5p inhibited hair follicle development-related genes and promoted apoptosis in dermal papilla cells, while its inhibition had the opposite effect. These findings suggested that miR-129-5p played a significant role in regulating hair follicle growth by modulating HOXC13, providing insights into potential genetic improvements for animal hair quality and new approaches for diagnosing and treating human hair loss.
