Abstract: 【Abstract】 Recent studies have found that the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway affects the growth and development of hair follicles, and is closely related to hair growth cycle. This review summarizes the effect of mTOR signaling pathway on the hair growth cycle, and provides new ideas for the treatment of hair diseases.

Key words: Signaling transduction, Hair follicle, Rapamycin, mTOR
