January 2017 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” This study suggests that stress-induced premature senescence of dermal papilla cells may contribute to hair follicle aging by impairing critical epithelial-mesenchymal interactions and promoting inflammatory cytokine production.

January 2017 in “Stem cells international” This study found that while extracellular matrix components like hyaluronic acid promoted larger organoid formation, other matrix components hindered hair follicle germ assembly in an in vitro model.

January 2021 in “Stem cell research & therapy” This study suggests that interfollicular epidermal keratinocytes with stem-like features may serve as an alternative to follicular keratinocytes for hair regeneration by supporting hair follicle morphogenesis in vivo.

July 1993 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study found that topical minoxidil and diazoxide induced significant hair regrowth in bald macaques, while a steroid 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor prevented baldness in preadolescent macaques.
