Research cited in this study

6 / 6 results

research Adipocyte Lineage Cells Contribute to the Skin Stem Cell Niche to Drive Hair Cycling

499 citations , September 2011 in “Cell”

This study found that intradermal adipocyte lineage cells in mice are necessary and sufficient to activate follicular stem cells, highlighting their role in regulating skin stem cell activity.

research Self-Organizing and Stochastic Behaviors During the Regeneration of Hair Stem Cells

176 citations , April 2011 in “Science”

This study found that in a population of hair follicles, regenerative cycling stages are regulated by both intrinsic and extrinsic signals, with WNT/BMP signaling mediating interactions among follicles for adaptability.

research Erythropoietin Promotes Hair Shaft Growth in Cultured Human Hair Follicles and Modulates Hair Growth in Mice

17 citations , May 2010 in “Journal of Dermatological Science”

This study found that erythropoietin promotes hair growth by stimulating dermal papilla cells with functional erythropoietin receptors, enhancing hair shaft elongation and anagen phase in cultured human hair follicles and in mice.

research Review of Hair Follicle Dermal Cells

321 citations , December 2009 in “Journal of Dermatological Science”

This review discusses the role of dermal cells in hair follicle regeneration and morphogenesis and highlights their potential therapeutic implications, but it reports no new empirical findings.

research Analyses of Regenerative Wave Patterns in Adult Hair Follicle Populations Reveal Macro-Environmental Regulation of Stem Cell Activity

64 citations , January 2009 in “The International journal of developmental biology”

This study found that intra-follicular Wnt signaling and dermal BMP signaling oscillate differently during hair cycling in mice, affecting hair wave propagation and phases of hair growth.

research Human Follicular Papilla Cells Carry Out Non-Adipose Tissue Production of Leptin

37 citations , December 2001 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that human follicular papilla cells in the scalp produce leptin and express functional leptin receptors, suggesting leptin's significant role in hair biology.
