Keratin fibrils in hair form and stop growing at specific points in the follicle.

Minoxidil affects cell growth in two ways: low doses increase growth, while high doses slow it down and can be toxic.

Hedgehog signaling is essential for normal sebaceous gland development and affects keratin 6a expression.

High ODC and low K1 and K10 may indicate early skin tumors in mice.
