Progress in Relevant Growth Factors Promoting the Growth of Hair Follicles

February 2012 in “ American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences ”

TLDR Growth factors are crucial for hair follicle growth and development.

The document reviewed the major growth factors involved in promoting the growth of hair follicles, highlighting their role in hair morphogenesis and epidermal development. It emphasized that hair follicle development occurred during fetal skin development and depended on ectodermal-mesodermal interactions. The review detailed how various growth factors orchestrated the morphological changes of the hair cycle, contributing to the understanding of hair follicle growth.
