research Genetic Markers of Male and Female Pattern Hair Loss

November 2005 in “Hair transplant forum international”

This paper discusses how studying hair follicles in the balding scalp could reveal fundamental biological processes, without reporting new experimental findings.

research Human Hair Follicle Stem/Progenitor Cells Express Hypoxia Markers

33 citations , March 2013 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

Human hair follicle stem cells show signs of low oxygen levels, which may be important for hair growth and preventing baldness.

research 576 A preliminary study of melanogenic markers in the differentiation of the human hair follicle melanin unit

November 2022 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study found that early pigment cell markers Sox10 and c-KIT, as well as DCT/TRP-2, were detectable in melanogenically-active melanocytes of the anagen bulb in human hair follicles.

research The cDNA-deduced amino acid sequence for trichohyalin, a differentiation marker in the hair follicle, contains a 23 amino acid repeat.

39 citations , February 1990 in “The journal of cell biology/The Journal of cell biology”

This study identified trichohyalin as an early differentiation marker in hair follicles, with potential structural roles related to alpha-helical formations, based on the partial characterization of its cDNA in sheep.

research Delayed Cutaneous Wound Healing and Aberrant Expression of Hair Follicle Stem Cell Markers in Mice Selectively Lacking Ctip2 in Epidermis

52 citations , February 2012 in “PloS one”

This study found that the absence of Ctip2 in epidermal keratinocytes led to impaired wound healing in mice, affecting cell migration, proliferation, and hair follicle stem cell maintenance.
