    April 1997 in “ Experimental Dermatology ”
    Catherine H. Régnier, Pierre‐Henri Asch, E Grosshans, Marie‐Christine Rio
    Studysummary This study found that hHbl gene expression is localized in the cortical cells of the human hair shaft and is notably high in pilomatricoma cells transitioning to hair shaft keratinocytes.
