Research cited in this study

7 / 7 results

research Induction of Follicle Formation and Hair Growth by Vibrissa Dermal Papillae Implanted into Rat Ear Wounds: Vibrissa-Type Fibres Are Specified

125 citations , August 1992 in “Development”

This study found that implanting isolated adult rat dermal papillae into ear cuts led to the emergence of unusually large vibrissa-type hair follicles, demonstrating their capacity to induce specific hair fiber characteristics.

research Cellular and Extracellular Involvement in the Regeneration of the Rat Lower Vibrissa Follicle

39 citations , April 1992 in “Development”

In this study, researchers detailed how hair follicles regenerate after microsurgical amputation, observing a wound reaction involving dynamic dermal-epidermal interactions and changes in extracellular matrix components.

research Coculture of Human Hair Follicles and Dermal Papillae in Type I Collagen Gel

7 citations , December 1991 in “Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences”

Dermal papillae are crucial for hair growth and maintenance.

research Experimental Modulation of the Differentiated Phenotype of Keratinocytes from Epidermis and Hair Follicle Outer Root Sheath and Matrix Cells

31 citations , December 1991 in “Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences”

This study found that distinct keratin profiles enabled the evaluation of epithelial differentiation in human hair follicles, with mesenchymal cells playing a critical role in epidermoid differentiation of follicular cells.

research Adhesion Molecules in Skin Development: Morphogenesis of Feather and Hair

45 citations , December 1991 in “Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences”

This study reports that different adhesion molecules play distinct roles in the morphogenesis of feathers and hair, influencing processes such as mesenchymal condensation, epithelial folding, and cell death.

research Distribution of Extracellular Matrix Molecules in Human Hair Follicles

45 citations , December 1991 in “Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences”

This article discusses the distribution of extracellular matrix molecules in human hair follicles and reports no new results.

research Hair Growth Induction: Roles of Growth Factors

44 citations , December 1991 in “Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences”

This study observed that epidermal growth factor and fibroblast growth factor have distinct roles in sheep skin, with EGF involved in differentiation and FGF in bulb proliferation and fiber growth.
