June 2026 in “The Journal of the Kyushu Dental Society” The review describes a new mouse model for hair regeneration using pyroxylin, a glue-like adhesive material that promotes localized hair growth by shortening the hair cycle's resting stage. This model enables controlled hair growth induction at specific skin sites, independent of sex, mouse strain, anatomical location, or age, and can be reapplied when the skin returns to the telogen phase. It serves as a valuable tool for testing hair-growth-promoting strategies and studying hair-cycle control, particularly in aging. The study suggests potential human applications for pyroxylin-based formulations, though further research is necessary to confirm their efficacy and safety.
