Research cited in this study

10 / 10 results

research Induction of the Hair Growth Phase in Postnatal Mice by Localized Transient Expression of Sonic Hedgehog

231 citations , October 1999 in “Journal of Clinical Investigation”

This study found that administering an adenovirus vector to increase Sonic hedgehog gene expression in mouse skin accelerated the transition of hair follicles into the growth phase, promoting hair growth.

research The mRNA for Protease Nexin-1 is Expressed in Human Dermal Papilla Cells and its Level is Affected by Androgen

27 citations , September 1999 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that protease nexin-1 mRNA is expressed in human dermal papilla cells and is downregulated by dihydrotestosterone in balding scalp, suggesting a role in male-pattern baldness progression.

research Local Injection of Hepatocyte Growth Factor/Scatter Factor Alters Cyclic Growth of Murine Hair Follicles

109 citations , April 1998 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that recombinant human HGF/SF injections altered hair follicle growth cycles and mildly promoted hair elongation in mice, depending on their hair cycle stage.

research Message of Nexin 1, a Serine Protease Inhibitor, Accumulates in the Follicular Papilla During Anagen of the Hair Cycle

37 citations , December 1995 in “Journal of Cell Science”

This study found that nexin 1 mRNA, a potent protease inhibitor, is prevalent in rat follicular papilla cells and may play a role in regulating hair follicular growth.

research Transfection of Rat Dermal Papilla Cells with a Gene Encoding a Temperature-Sensitive Polyomavirus Large T Antigen Generates Cell Lines Retaining a Differentiated Phenotype

25 citations , July 1994 in “Journal of Cell Science”

This study found that polyomavirus large T-immortalized rat dermal papilla cells retain hair-inductive ability and provide a viable model for studying hair growth and cytokine expression.

research Dynamic Expression Patterns of Tenascin, Proteoglycans, and Cell Adhesion Molecules During Human Hair Follicle Morphogenesis

67 citations , February 1994 in “Developmental dynamics”

This study analyzed the distribution of adhesion molecules and extracellular matrix components in human fetal skin, suggesting their roles in hair follicle development.

research Induction of Follicle Formation and Hair Growth by Vibrissa Dermal Papillae Implanted into Rat Ear Wounds: Vibrissa-Type Fibres Are Specified

125 citations , August 1992 in “Development”

This study found that implanting isolated adult rat dermal papillae into ear cuts led to the emergence of unusually large vibrissa-type hair follicles, demonstrating their capacity to induce specific hair fiber characteristics.
