April 2016 in “Biochimie” This study shows that the concentration of epidermal growth factor (EGF) is crucial for determining whether mink hair follicles are promoted or inhibited in vitro, with involvement of the Notch signaling pathway in DP cell proliferation.
5 citations
,
July 2022 in “Genes” This study found that EGR1 promotes the proliferation of dermal papilla cells, suggesting its close association with hair follicle growth and development.
10 citations
,
June 2005 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study identified FP-1 as a highly specific extracellular matrix protein in follicular papilla cells, which may play a role in hair growth regulation during specific hair cycle phases.
January 2000 in “Acta Academiae Medicine Militaris Tertiae” This study observed that epidermal growth factor significantly enhanced the growth of dermal papilla, dermal sheath cells, and fibroblasts in vitro, particularly benefiting dermal sheath cells.

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.
