August 2015 in “Stem Cells Translational Medicine” This review discusses autologous dermis-derived stem cells and their potential in regenerative medicine, summarizing current literature on their niches, characteristics, and applications, but it reports no new experimental results.
184 citations
,
November 2014 in “Developmental Cell” This study identifies a bipotent stem cell in adult hair follicles that self-renews and contributes to dermal sheath and papilla cell populations, potentially aiding hair regrowth after injury, disease, or aging.
68 citations
,
August 2014 in “Stem Cells Translational Medicine” This study found that composite skin constructs containing dermal papilla cells promoted better skin healing and hair regeneration in nude mice, highlighting their role in tissue-engineered skin for severe injuries.
44 citations
,
June 2009 in “Biomaterials” In this study, fibronectin coating on a low-adhesive substratum increased cell aggregation, growth, and motility, enhancing the formation of hair follicle dermal papilla spheroids.
268 citations
,
December 2003 in “Experimental Dermatology” This study demonstrated that clonal dermal papilla and dermal sheath cell lines from hair follicles can differentiate into lipid and bone cells, suggesting their potential as a stem cell source for tissue engineering.
