Research cited in this study
3 / 3 resultsresearch Distribution and Number of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptors in Skin Is Related to Epithelial Cell Growth
EGF receptors are crucial for skin cell growth and decrease with age.
research Epidermal Growth Factor Delays Development of Epidermis and Hair Follicles in Mice During First Coat Growth
This study found that epidermal growth factor treatment in male mice delayed normal skin development, inhibiting hair growth and follicle development by maintaining birth-level cell proliferation and differentiation for several days.
research Effects of Epidermal Growth Factor on Hair Growth in the Mouse
This study found that epidermal growth factor decreased hair growth rate and altered hair characteristics in neonatal mice, with some effects persisting into subsequent hair generations.

This study found that transgenic mice expressing HPV E6/E7 in the outer root sheath experience continuous hair follicle cycling due to delayed catagen entrance and insensitivity to telogen resting signals.
research Effects of Epidermal Growth Factor on the Morphology and Patterns of DNA Synthesis in Isolated Human Hair Follicles
This study concluded that epidermal growth factor may induce a 'catagen-like' phase in human hair follicles by disrupting normal cellular proliferation and migration patterns.

This study describes trichilemmal keratinization as a distinct process of hair follicle keratinization that occurs in specific areas of the outer root sheath, illustrated using electron microscopy on dog hair.
