September 2016 in “British journal of dermatology/British journal of dermatology, Supplement” Human hair follicle dermal cells can effectively replace other cells in engineered skin.
359 citations,
January 2015 in “Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine” Hair growth phase and certain genes can speed up wound healing, while an inflammatory mediator can slow down new hair growth after a wound. Understanding these factors can improve tissue regeneration during wound healing.
518 citations,
November 2014 in “Science” Skin grafting and wound treatment have improved, but we need more research to better understand wound healing and create more effective treatments.
68 citations,
August 2014 in “Stem Cells Translational Medicine” Dermal papilla cells help wounds heal better and can potentially grow new hair.
43 citations,
July 2014 in “Experimental Dermatology” Hair follicles can help wounds heal faster and this knowledge could be used to treat chronic skin ulcers, with a potential use of a special stem cell hydrogel to enhance healing.
36 citations,
July 2014 in “Experimental Dermatology” Skin and hair can regenerate after injury due to changes in gene activity, with potential links to how cancer spreads. Future research should focus on how new hair follicles form and the processes that trigger their creation.
321 citations,
December 2009 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” Dermal cells are key in controlling hair growth and could potentially be used in hair loss treatments, but more research is needed to improve hair regeneration methods.
222 citations,
August 2009 in “Experimental Dermatology” Stem cells are crucial for wound healing and understanding their role could lead to new treatments, but more research is needed to answer unresolved questions.
170 citations,
November 2007 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” Skin can heal wounds without hair follicle stem cells, but it takes a bit longer.
87 citations,
February 2004 in “Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery” Hair follicle stem cells helped heal a severe scalp burn without needing traditional skin grafts.
66 citations,
August 2001 in “Experimental Dermatology” Human hair follicle cells can grow hair when put into mouse skin if they stay in contact with mouse cells.
