August 1996 in “British Journal of Dermatology” This study found that dermal papillae in alopecia areata, including clinically normal follicles, exhibited ultrastructural abnormalities that suggest an early pathological role in the disease's development.
January 1997 in “Han-guk hyeonmigyeong hakoeji/Applied microscopy” This study observed that the mechanical connection between hair follicles and connective tissue in human fetal scalp skin is weaker than in the corresponding skin components, reflecting dynamic processes in hair growth.
April 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that human iPSC-derived dermal papilla precursor cells can regenerate hair follicle structures, offering a potential new treatment approach for permanent alopecia.
April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study suggests that MPZL3, a mitochondrially localized protein, may play an integral role in regulating hair follicle cycles, with potential therapeutic implications for hair growth disorders if findings translate to humans.
April 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study identified the dermal sheath as a key component of the hair follicle niche, essential for outer root sheath regression during the hair cycle, highlighting its importance in hair follicle support and regulation.
