December 2016 in “PLOS ONE” This study found that proteins secreted by early-passage dermal papilla cells, including SDF1, MMP3, biglycan, and LTBP1, may play significant roles in hair follicle regeneration.
This study found that a hair follicle-like structure forms in nude mice when hair papilla cells are mixed with hair follicle epithelium and implanted, but not with dermal sheath cells or fibroblasts.

March 2010 in “Histochemistry and cell biology” Skin cells can help create early hair-like structures in lab cultures.
January 2006 in “Chinese Journal of Dermatology” This study found that cultured dermal papilla cells can induce hair follicle regeneration and sustain hair growth both in vivo and in vitro, with their effectiveness linked to specific protein expression levels.

July 2004 in “PubMed” This study observed that stronger expression of ET-1 and SCF in early passages of cultured dermal papilla cells correlates with a higher ability to induce hair follicle regeneration.
