research Dynamic Expression Patterns of Tenascin, Proteoglycans, and Cell Adhesion Molecules During Human Hair Follicle Morphogenesis

67 citations , February 1994 in “Developmental dynamics”

This study analyzed the distribution of adhesion molecules and extracellular matrix components in human fetal skin, suggesting their roles in hair follicle development.

research Mice With a Null Mutation of the TGFα Gene Have Abnormal Skin Architecture, Wavy Hair, and Curly Whiskers and Often Develop Corneal Inflammation

578 citations , April 1993 in “Cell”

This study found that mice with a disrupted TGFα gene display a curly whisker-coat phenotype, similar to waved-1 mice, suggesting TGFα's crucial role in skin architecture and hair development.

research The Secret Life of the Hair Follicle

745 citations , February 1992 in “Trends in genetics”

This article describes the potential role of various growth factors and molecules in regulating mammalian hair follicle development but does not present new experimental results.

research Adhesion Molecules in Skin Development: Morphogenesis of Feather and Hair

45 citations , December 1991 in “Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences”

This study reports that different adhesion molecules play distinct roles in the morphogenesis of feathers and hair, influencing processes such as mesenchymal condensation, epithelial folding, and cell death.

research Distribution of Extracellular Matrix Molecules in Human Hair Follicles

45 citations , December 1991 in “Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences”

This article discusses the distribution of extracellular matrix molecules in human hair follicles and reports no new results.

research Hair-Specific Expression of Chloramphenicol Acetyltransferase in Transgenic Mice Under the Control of an Ultra-High-Sulfur Keratin Promoter

33 citations , September 1990 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences”

This study found that a 671-base pair promoter sequence from the ultra-high-sulfur keratin gene is sufficient to direct tissue-specific and development-specific expression of a reporter gene during hair growth in transgenic mice.
