October 1996 in “Development” This study found that combining adult germinative epidermal cells with non-inductive dermal cells can stimulate hair follicle neogenesis, effectively altering the cells' status to enhance induction.
April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that matrix progenitor cells in hair follicles move in a conveyor-belt-like fashion along the dermal papilla, changing their transcriptional states and lineage potential as they differentiate into inner hair follicle layers.

April 1993 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” This study found that several anti-cancer agents strongly inhibit DNA synthesis in human hair germinative cells, while certain cytokines showed only slight inhibition.
19 citations
,
July 1993 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” The researchers reported that hair follicle germinative epidermal cells can form complex structures when associating with papilla cells in culture, unlike other types of epidermal cells.

,
July 1993 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study found that cultured papilla cells can induce follicle formation and hair growth when combined with different epidermal and dermal cells, highlighting their powerful inductive properties and potential for dermatological applications.
