research Regenerative Potential of CD200- Subpopulations of Hair Follicle Bulge

April 2026 in “Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology”

This study found that CD200-negative human hair follicle bulge cells have a higher hair-regenerative capability compared to CD200-positive cells, suggesting that reduced CD200 expression may enhance hair regeneration, providing insights for improving bulge cell-based hair restoration techniques.

research Hair Regeneration Methods Using Cells Derived From Human Hair Follicles and Challenges to Overcome

December 2024 in “Cells”

This study reviewed various methods and techniques aimed at overcoming limitations in culturing human hair follicles, specifically focusing on restoring the inductivity of hair follicle cells for successful hair regeneration.

research Recent Progress in Hair Follicle Stem Cell Markers and Their Regulatory Roles

13 citations , February 2024 in “World Journal of Stem Cells”

This review examined the role of molecular markers in isolating and tracing hair follicle stem cells, emphasizing their regulatory roles as revealed by single-cell transcriptomics data.

research Epidermal Stem Cells in Hair Follicle Cycling and Skin Regeneration: A View From the Perspective of Inflammation

18 citations , November 2020 in “Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology”

This review discusses how inflammation influences hair follicle stem cell activities like wound healing and follicle cycling and suggests a potential link between inflammation, stem cell activation, and programmed cell death.
