October 1988 in “Clinics in dermatology” This study found that dermal papilla cells may play a critical role in hair follicle development and cycling by promoting epidermal proliferation and potentially mediating systemic factors that influence follicle behavior.
November 2023 in “npj regenerative medicine” This study found that engineered reconstituted skin can form morphogenetic units that promote tissue patterning and hair regeneration, with certain signaling pathways restoring this ability in adult and fetal cells.
