Glossary Follicular Epithelium

layer of cells lining hair follicle, crucial for hair growth

The follicular epithelium refers to the layer of cells that line the hair follicle, which is the small cavity in the skin from which hair grows. These cells play a crucial role in the growth and cycling of hair, as they are involved in the formation and maintenance of the hair shaft. For professionals, understanding the follicular epithelium is essential for studying hair growth disorders and developing treatments for conditions like alopecia.

Expression Patterns of MITF During Human Cutaneous Embryogenesis: Evidence for Bulge Epithelial Expression and Persistence of Dermal Melanoblasts

research Expression patterns of MITF during human cutaneous embryogenesis: evidence for bulge epithelial expression and persistence of dermal melanoblasts

43 citations , February 2008 in “Journal of cutaneous pathology”

This study revealed that during fetal development, MITF and Mart-1 expressing melanocytes progress from the dermis to the epidermis and hair follicles, with MITF possibly marking follicular stem cells.

Epithelial Cells in the Hair Follicle Bulge Do Not Contribute to Epidermal Regeneration After Glucocorticoid-Induced Cutaneous Atrophy

research Epithelial Cells in the Hair Follicle Bulge do not Contribute to Epidermal Regeneration after Glucocorticoid-Induced Cutaneous Atrophy

23 citations , July 2007 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study found that follicular stem cells in hair follicles are more sensitive to the antiproliferative effects of glucocorticoids compared to basal keratinocytes due to incomplete desensitization.

research Basal cell carcinoma possibly originates from the outer root sheath and/or the bulge region of the vellus hair follicle

107 citations , May 1999 in “Archives of Dermatological Research”

In this study, the immunohistochemical and lectin binding profiles of basal cell carcinoma closely resembled those of the outer root sheath of vellus hair follicles, suggesting a potential histochemical relationship.

The Ludwig Pattern of Androgenetic Alopecia Is Due to a Hierarchy of Androgen Sensitivity Within Follicular Units That Leads to Selective Miniaturization and a Reduction in the Number of Terminal Hairs Per Follicular Unit

research The Ludwig pattern of androgenetic alopecia is due to a hierarchy of androgen sensitivity within follicular units that leads to selective miniaturization and a reduction in the number of terminal hairs per follicular unit

47 citations , September 2008 in “British Journal of Dermatology”

This study found that women with androgenetic alopecia experience diffuse hair loss due to a decrease in terminal hairs and an increase in vellus hairs per follicular unit.

community Everything you ever wanted to know about Pelage Pharma's PP405: how it works and what to expect

126 upvotes 3 months ago

PP405 may encourage earlier hair growth and slightly increase visible hair count but does not reverse hair follicle miniaturization in male pattern baldness. It does not address damage to the dermal papilla or broken Wnt signaling.
