August 2015 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Prominin-1 expressing cells in the dermal papilla help regulate hair follicle size and communication but don't aid in skin repair.
218 citations,
May 2014 in “Experimental Dermatology” Skin fat cells help with skin balance, hair growth, and healing wounds.
237 citations,
June 2013 in “Nature Medicine” A protein from certain immune cells is key for new hair growth after skin injury in mice.

August 2012 in “Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology” The conclusion is that certain cell interactions and signals are crucial for hair growth and regeneration.
170 citations,
July 2012 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Wnt ligands are crucial for hair growth and repair.
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.
68 citations,
December 2011 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Sox2-positive dermal papilla cells have unique characteristics and contribute more to skin and hair follicle formation than Sox2-negative cells.
128 citations,
October 2011 in “Development” Activating a protein called β-catenin in adult skin can make it behave like young skin, potentially helping with skin aging and hair loss.
499 citations,
September 2011 in “Cell” Fat-related cells are important for initiating hair growth.
314 citations,
April 2010 in “Developmental Cell” β-catenin in the dermal papilla is crucial for normal hair growth and repair.
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.
829 citations,
May 2007 in “Nature” Hair follicles can regrow in wounded adult mouse skin using a process like embryo development.
58 citations,
June 2006 in “Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery” Mice healed without scars as fetuses but developed scars as adults, suggesting scarless healing might be replicated with further research.
479 citations,
