Abstract: The present invention provides a method for controlling hair growth, a method for selecting or evaluating a hair growth control agent, and a hair growth suppression agent. The present invention provides a method for selecting or evaluating a hair growth control agent, including the steps of administering a test substance to a cell capable of expressing DnaJC6; measuring the expression of DnaJC6 in the cell; and evaluating the controlling effect of the test substance on hair growth based on the expression. The present invention also provides a hair growth suppression agent containing funabarasou (Cynanchum atratum) or its extract as the active ingredient.

Abstract: To provide a drug, an external use composition, and a cosmetic composition, which exhibit an NFAT signal inhibitory action, a calcineurin inhibitory action, and a hair growth-promoting effect. The NFAT signal inhibitor contains, as an active ingredient, American angelica or an extract thereof.

Abstract: An NFAT signal inhibitor and the like are provided. An NFAT signal inhibitor and the like, containing, as an active ingredient, at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a coumarin derivative represented by formula [where in the formula (I), R1 and R2, which may be identical with or different from each other, each represent a hydrogen atom or a group represented by formula (II) (where in the formula (II), R3 represents a linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms)] and pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof.
