It is thought that Cyclophilin has a role in hair regeneration and anagen elongation, however, the mechanism is not clear. By using cyclosporin A which is a ligand for cyclophilin, we elucidate a role of cyclophilin in skin and hair relative cells. Our goal is to show the mechanism of hair regeneration and anagen elongation via cyclophilin. |
