Hello
I don't see any reference to this recent korean study.
Is there a particular reason?

Hello. I'm first author in this paper.
The reviewer asked the same question, but there is no particular reason why we left out the reference in this article.
We foucused on direct effect of VPA and MNX on trichogenicity in vitro and consistently found that β-catenin, BMP4, the Wnt/β-catenin target, and ALP were specifically induced by VPA, but not MNX in our system.
""bold"""Therefore, we are convinced of our current data.
