January 2006 in “Journal of Cellular Biochemistry” This study reported the successful isolation of epithelial stem cells from mouse embryonic skin using a simple culture method, with the cells showing the potential to differentiate into multiple cell types.
February 2026 in “Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications” This study identifies a specific cell population, PDGFRα+/Sca1+/CD34+ mesenchymal cells, which play a crucial role in regenerating hair follicles by promoting the downgrowth phase of the hair cycle, offering insights into organ morphogenesis and stem cell niches essential for adult hair regeneration.

October 2010 in “Methods in molecular biology” This article discusses the development and research applications of human hair follicle organ culture techniques, highlighting its potential to explore biological processes beyond dermatology.
August 2015 in “MOJ proteomics & bioinformatics” This study suggests that epithelial-derived pop-up keratinocytes (ePUKs) may improve regenerative medicine applications due to their specific phenotype and increased expression of proteins involved in regulating cellular movement and wound healing.
October 2009 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” This study demonstrates that using a K15 promoter-driven GFP labeling technique allows for the identification and characterization of epithelial stem cells in adult human hair follicles.
