November 2007 in “Journal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry” This study found that in neonatal mice, the absence of the NG2 proteoglycan leads to reduced epidermal thickness and delayed subcutis thickening due to impaired proliferation and adipocyte deficiencies.
33 citations
,
July 2007 in “Journal of cell science” This study found that knocking out the transactivation domain of Miz1 in mouse keratinocytes disrupted hair follicle orientation, caused irregular pigmentation, and increased keratinocyte proliferation, indicating Miz1's role in hair follicle development and morphogenesis.
154 citations
,
October 1996 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America” This study found that 17-beta-estradiol inhibits hair growth in mice by blocking hair follicles in the telogen phase, whereas an estrogen receptor antagonist promotes hair growth by initiating anagen.
21 citations
,
December 1994 in “British Journal of Dermatology” In this study, cultured skin equivalents with ovine hair follicle dermal papillae grafted onto nude mice developed follicle-like structures, suggesting a potential model for studying hair follicle development.
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.
65 citations
,
October 1988 in “Clinics in dermatology” This study found that dermal papilla cells may play a critical role in hair follicle development and cycling by promoting epidermal proliferation and potentially mediating systemic factors that influence follicle behavior.
