September 2010 in “Nucleic acids research” This study found that induced expression of mir-302 can reprogram human hair follicle cells into induced pluripotent stem cells through a novel epigenetic mechanism involving global demethylation.
73 citations
,
August 2011 in “Stem Cell Research” This study found that human hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate into myogenic, osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic lineages, although this potential decreases over time and varies by lineage.
64 citations
,
December 2012 in “Stem Cell Reviews and Reports” This study reports the successful generation of inducible pluripotent stem cells from mesenchymal stem cells derived from human hair follicles, marking a novel method of reprogramming these cells.
25 citations
,
March 2017 in “Archives of Dermatological Research” This study suggests that sinapic acid may promote hair growth in human hair follicle dermal papilla cells by activating specific signaling pathways and inducing the expression of growth factors.
