August 2017 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America” Newborn mouse skin cells can grow hair and this process can be recreated in adult cells to potentially help with hair loss.
35 citations,
January 2017 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” Stress can cause early aging in certain skin cells, leading to problems with hair growth.
16 citations,
May 2015 in “Tissue Engineering Part C-methods” A two-step method was created in 2015 to make more cells that help with hair growth, but they need to be combined with other cells for 4 days to actually form new hair.
256 citations,
October 2013 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America” Growing human skin cells in a 3D environment can stimulate new hair growth.
78 citations,
October 2012 in “Biomaterials” Larger spheroids improve hair growth, but size doesn't guarantee thicker hair.
418 citations,
September 2012 in “Nature” African spiny mice can regenerate skin, hair, and cartilage, but not muscle, and their unique abilities could be useful for regenerative medicine.
300 citations,
August 2012 in “Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology” The conclusion is that certain cell interactions and signals are crucial for hair growth and regeneration.
179 citations,
April 2012 in “Nature Communications” Regenerated fully functional hair follicles using stem cells, with potential for hair regrowth therapy.
24 citations,
April 2012 in “Developmental Biology” Dermal papillae cells, important for hair growth, come from multiple cell lines and can be formed by skin cells, regardless of their origin or hair cycle phase. These cells rarely divide, but their ability to shape tissue may contribute to their efficiency in inducing hair growth.
207 citations,
March 2012 in “Development” Skin needs dermal β-catenin activity for hair growth and skin cell multiplication.
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.
759 citations,
February 2009 in “Current Biology” Hair follicles are complex, dynamic mini-organs that help us understand cell growth, death, migration, and differentiation, as well as tissue regeneration and tumor biology.
829 citations,
May 2007 in “Nature” Hair follicles can regrow in wounded adult mouse skin using a process like embryo development.
417 citations,
September 2005 in “PLoS biology” Understanding gene expression in hair follicles can reveal insights into hair growth and disorders.
205 citations,
April 2005 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Scientists have found a way to create hair follicles from skin cells of newborn mice, which can grow and cycle naturally when injected into adult mouse skin.
73 citations,
