June 2019 in “BMC genomics” This study cataloged several long non-coding RNAs and microRNAs in cashmere goat dermal papilla cells, suggesting these non-coding RNAs may play a role in hair follicle stem cell activation and hair growth.
July 2024 in “Journal of Nanobiotechnology” This study found that dermal papilla cell-derived exosomes promote hair follicle regeneration during wound healing by enhancing fibroblast activity and activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in mice.
