April 2011 in “Cell Proliferation” This study demonstrates that human hair follicle stem cells can be cultured and expanded without major changes to their phenotypes, which suggests potential for use in regenerative medicine.
April 2023 in “Egyptian journal of Immunology” This study found that human platelet lysate supported mesenchymal stem cell growth as effectively as fetal bovine serum, while fetal bovine serum was more effective for hepatocyte proliferation.

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.

March 2012 in “The Journal of Pathology” This article argues that lineage labeling with genetic markers is the gold standard for identifying epithelial stem cells, contrary to the view that in vitro methods alone are sufficient.

June 2016 in “FEBS Journal” The study found that up-regulating β-catenin signaling in CD 133-positive dermal papilla cells enhanced their ability to promote hair follicle regeneration both in vitro and in vivo.
