GlossaryDermal Papilla Cells (HDPCs)

specialized cells at hair follicle base crucial for hair growth

Dermal Papilla Cells (DPCs) are specialized cells located at the base of hair follicles. They play a crucial role in hair growth and regeneration by interacting with surrounding cells to regulate the hair growth cycle. These cells are essential for the formation of new hair follicles and are a key focus in research on hair loss treatments and regenerative medicine.

research Dual-Action Icariin-Containing Thermosensitive Hydrogel for Wound Macrophage Polarization and Hair Follicle Neogenesis

6 citations , June 2022 in “Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology”

The gel with icariin speeds up wound healing, reduces scarring, and helps hair growth by controlling BMP4 signaling. It also reduces inflammation and improves wound quality in mice, adapts to different wound shapes, and gradually releases icariin to aid healing. It also prevents too much collagen and myofibroblast formation during skin healing.
