Hair Growth Inhibition by Heparin in Mice: A Model System for Studying the Modulation of Epithelial Cell Growth by Glycosaminoglycans

    Ralf Paus
    Studysummary In this study, heparin was found to exert dose- and hair cycle-dependent effects on skin epithelial cells in mice, affecting hair follicle development and protein synthesis differently based on its administration method.
