September 2019 in “Experimental cell research” This study found that BMP2 increased PTEN expression and induced autophagy, promoting hair follicle stem cell differentiation in both in vitro models and a mouse wound model.
26 citations
,
August 2019 in “Stem Cell Research & Therapy” This study found that PBX1 enhances the proliferation and reprogramming of hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells by activating the AKT/GSK3β signaling pathway, promoting NANOG expression, and inhibiting apoptosis.
18 citations
,
December 2018 in “Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy” This review discusses hair follicle stem cells for wound healing and reports no new clinical results, noting their potential but emphasizing the need for further understanding and safety in clinical applications.
17 citations
,
May 2014 in “Cell transplantation” This study demonstrated that genetically engineered stem cells from human hair follicles can reverse hyperglycemia and reduce mortality in mice with type 1 diabetes by overexpressing the human insulin gene.
99 citations
,
January 2014 in “Nature communications” In this study, researchers developed a method to differentiate human iPSCs into cells that can generate all lineages of hair follicles, potentially aiding treatments for hair loss and skin disorders.
156 citations
,
October 2012 in “Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology” This study found that hair follicle stem cells initially contribute to wound re-epithelialization, but long-lasting epidermal cells are primarily derived from a stem cell population in the isthmus portion of hair follicles.
321 citations
,
January 2012 in “Cell stem cell” This study identified TGF-β2 as a crucial signal in hair follicle stem cell regeneration, highlighting its role in counteracting BMP signaling to promote tissue regeneration.
8 citations
,
March 2009 in “Differentiation” The study demonstrated that bulge stem cells from rat vibrissa follicles respond to adult dermal papilla signals, inducing hair bulb formation and regenerating hair structures in vivo.
