,
December 1991 in “Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences” This study observed that epidermal growth factor and fibroblast growth factor have distinct roles in sheep skin, with EGF involved in differentiation and FGF in bulb proliferation and fiber growth.

,
June 1990 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” 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.
13 citations
,
March 1988 in “Experientia” This study observed that administering anti-EGF serum to newborn mice affected physiological processes, delaying eyelid opening and tooth eruption, accelerating hair growth, and delaying weight gain.
58 citations
,
June 1987 in “Archives of Dermatological Research” This study found that epidermal and fibroblast growth factors increased proliferation of human hair bulb papilla cells and root sheath fibroblasts in vitro, while hydrocortisone decreased it and minoxidil had no effect.

December 1983 in “Developmental Biology” EGF receptors are crucial for skin cell growth and decrease with age.
72 citations

January 1983 in “The Anatomical Record” 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.
84 citations
,
February 1981 in “Journal of Endocrinology” 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.
