This study found that hair follicle patterning in development may arise from a combination of epidermal prepattern signals and mesenchymal self-organisation, with fibroblast growth factor and bone morphogenetic protein activities playing key roles.

In this study, researchers identified a gene expression pre-pattern and implicated the Wnt inhibitor Dickkopf 4 in the formation of color patterns in domestic cat embryos.

In this study, researchers found that the gene Dkk4 influences color pattern formation in domestic cat fetuses, and its mutation is linked to the Ticked pattern type.

This study found that epidermal melanocytes can regenerate hair follicles, whereas non-cutaneous or dermal melanocytes cannot, suggesting two distinct melanocyte lineages with potential implications for melanocyte-related diseases.

This review discusses the developmental origins and diversity of dermal fibroblasts, focusing on their roles in epidermal and hair follicle growth, but reports no clinical results.
