research Enhanced Effect of Fibroblast Growth Factor-2-Containing Dalteparin/Protamine Nanoparticles on Hair Growth

19 citations , May 2016 in “Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology”

In this study, applying FGF-2-containing dalteparin/protamine nanoparticles to the scalp was associated with a significant increase in hair diameter over six months among participants with thin hair.

research Epidermal Growth Factor Promotes Proliferation of Dermal Papilla Cells via Notch Signaling Pathway

36 citations , April 2016 in “Biochimie”

This study shows that the concentration of epidermal growth factor (EGF) is crucial for determining whether mink hair follicles are promoted or inhibited in vitro, with involvement of the Notch signaling pathway in DP cell proliferation.

research Generation of Bioengineered Feather Buds on Reconstructed Chick Skin from Dissociated Epithelial and Mesenchymal Cells

10 citations , March 2016 in “Development Growth & Differentiation”

This study developed a bioengineering method to reconstruct embryonic dorsal skin from dissociated chick skin cells, allowing feather buds to form and grow in vitro, influenced by epithelial-mesenchymal interactions.

research Follistatin and Secreted Frizzled-Related Protein 1, OVOL1-Regulated Genes, Are Important for Hair Follicle Neogenesis

4 citations , April 2015 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This study found that OVOL1-regulated genes, particularly Fst and SFRP1, significantly affect the hair-inducing capacity of neonatal mouse dermal cells.

research Regionalization of the Skin

26 citations , December 2013 in “Seminars in cell & developmental biology”

This article reviews how anatomical differences in skin arise and persist, and suggests the underlying molecular positional code is more complex than apparent, but reports no new research findings.

research When Whorls Collide: The Development of Hair Patterns in Frizzled 6 Mutant Mice

55 citations , November 2010 in “Development”

This study observed that in frizzled 6 null mice, initially uncorrelated hair follicle orientations develop into highly ordered patterns over time, suggesting possible mechanisms for biological structure patterning.
