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.
September 2012 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Scientists successfully created fully functional hair follicles using bioengineering methods and stem cells.
This study suggests that keratin 15 and Id3 proteins play distinct roles in epithelial and dermal cell activities during the regeneration stages of rat vibrissae hair follicles.
