October 2005 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America” This study found that rat whisker follicle stem cells can be expanded in culture and transplanted to form functional hair follicles, demonstrating their multipotency and potential for regenerative medicine.
January 2016 in “eScholarship (California Digital Library)” This dissertation reports that horizontal basal cells in the olfactory epithelium undergo symmetric divisions balanced by population asymmetry, which supports their renewal and differentiation during tissue homeostasis and regeneration.
December 2016 in “Chin J Anat Clin” This study successfully improved methods for isolating, culturing, and purifying rat hair follicle stem cells, demonstrating their high purity, strong proliferation, and potential for adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation in vitro, which could support advancements in tissue engineering.
February 2020 in “Journal of chemical neuroanatomy” This study suggests that five small molecules can induce hair follicle neural crest stem cells to differentiate toward motor neuron progenitor cells with a unipotent differentiation potential.
January 2005 in “Journal of Shandong Univenity” This study found that epidermal stem cells are located in rats' hair follicle bulge regions, and the methods used to isolate and culture these cells in vitro are feasible.
