β-catenin dermal papilla hair morphogenesis hair regeneration hair bulb catagen phase Fgf7 Fgf10 Igfbp5 keratinocyte proliferation IGF signaling hair cycle progression follicular keratinocytes beta-catenin DP hair growth hair renewal hair root hair shedding phase fibroblast growth factor 7 fibroblast growth factor 10 insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5 skin cell growth insulin-like growth factor signaling hair growth cycle hair follicle cells
Studysummary This study found that in mice, inactivating beta-catenin in the dermal papilla reduces hair follicle progenitor proliferation and disrupts the hair cycle.
