Lysophosphatidic acid has been established as an important mediator that is involved in various physiological events. Our work is to examine novel roles of lysophosphatidic acid by utilizing genetically engineered mice. Here we found that mice lacking production of lysophophatidic acid exhibited hair defects. We further identified mechanisms underlying the lysophophatidic acid-induced hair formation. Our work will be beneficial to development of medicine for hair disorders.
