April 2019 in “Biomedicines” This study found that hair thickness and density increased after treatment with human follicle mesenchymal stem cells and platelet rich plasma, associated with enhanced Wnt signaling and platelet derived growth factors.
44 citations
,
April 2012 in “BMB Reports” This study identified several DPC-specific proteins, including ITGB1, IGFBP3, and THBS1, as potential biomarkers for hair growth modulation through proteomic and network analysis.
