June 2003 in “The journal of investigative dermatology. Symposium proceedings/The Journal of investigative dermatology symposium proceedings” This article reviews the role of epithelial-mesenchymal interactions in hair follicle morphogenesis and the hair cycle, suggesting potential paths for developing treatments for hair growth disorders but providing no new clinical findings.
190 citations
,
October 2002 in “The FASEB journal” In this study, androgen did not affect keratinocyte growth in coculture with androgenetic alopecia-derived dermal papilla cells, but did significantly suppress keratinocyte growth when androgen receptor was overexpressed in the papilla cells.
116 citations
,
September 2001 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” This study suggests that miniaturization in pattern hair loss may occur abruptly and can be reversed with treatment, as supported by histologic evidence in finasteride-responsive patients.
66 citations
,
January 2000 in “Hormone Research in Paediatrics” This study suggests that the paradoxical effects of androgens on hair growth are due to differential gene expression in hair follicles, possibly established during embryogenesis.
227 citations
,
January 1998 in “Journal of Endocrinology” This study found that dermal papilla cells from balding scalp hair follicles have significantly higher levels of androgen receptors than those from non-balding follicles, supporting their in vivo androgen response.
90 citations
,
October 1996 in “Dermatologic Clinics” This study found that red ginseng oil may enhance hair growth and protect skin from UV damage in mouse models by promoting regenerative processes and reducing inflammation.
19 citations
,
March 1996 in “British Journal of Dermatology” This study found that dermal papilla cells from balding follicles exhibit distinct growth characteristics compared to non-balding cells, suggesting their potential as a model for understanding androgenetic alopecia.
30 citations

March 1996 in “British Journal of Dermatology” 173 citations
,
July 1995 in “Biochemical and biophysical research communications” This study suggests that IGF-I may mediate androgen-induced hair growth in outer root sheath cells cocultured with beard dermal papilla cells.
133 citations
,
July 1994 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” In this study, the researchers developed an in vitro model that maintains human hair follicles to grow at in vivo rates and observed that factors like EGF and IGF-I influence hair follicle growth and catagen entry.
22 citations
,
December 1991 in “PubMed” 385 citations
,
November 1990 in “Journal of Cell Science” This study successfully grew and maintained human hair follicles in vitro, noting that TGF-β1 negatively affects growth, while EGF replicates hair-removal effects seen in animals.
