Expression of Calcium-Binding S100 Proteins A4 and A6 in Regions of the Epithelial Sac Associated with the Onset of Hair Follicle Regeneration
June 2001
in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”
TLDR S100A4 and S100A6 proteins may activate stem cells for hair follicle regeneration and could be potential targets for hair loss treatments.
The study examines the expression of calcium-binding S100 proteins A4 and A6 in regions of the epithelial sac associated with hair follicle regeneration. The study found that S100A4 and S100A6 proteins are present in specific areas of the epithelial sac related to hair follicle regeneration and may play a role in activating stem cells during hair follicle regeneration. The study provides insights into the mechanisms of hair follicle regeneration and suggests that S100A4 and S100A6 proteins could be potential targets for hair loss treatments.
