research Hair Follicle Regeneration by Transplantation of a Bioengineered Hair Follicle Germ

6 citations, January 2016 in “Methods in molecular biology”

Scientists have developed a new method using stem cells to grow and transplant hair follicles, which could be useful for hair regeneration treatments.

research Epithelial stem cells and implications for wound repair

156 citations, December 2012 in “Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology”

Different types of stem cells in hair follicles play unique roles in wound healing and hair growth, with some stem cells not originating from existing hair follicles but from non-hair follicle cells. WNT signaling and the Lhx2 factor are key in creating new hair follicles.

research Hair follicle stem cells: Walking the maze

165 citations, July 2007 in “European Journal of Cell Biology”

Hair follicle stem cells are key for hair and skin regeneration, can be reprogrammed, and have potential therapeutic uses, but also carry a risk of cancer.
