May 2009 in “Development” This study found that downregulation of EGF and KGF signaling is necessary for hair follicle initiation in placodes, revealing a new role for KGF in hair follicle formation in mice.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that kaempferol increased the proliferation potential of basal epidermal cells in three-dimensional skin models by enhancing integrin expression and altering cell morphology.

,
September 2015 in “Cell Cycle” This study found that hair follicle and interfollicular epidermis stem cells contribute differently to skin regeneration, with their persistence influenced by factors like spatial constraints and competition moderated by Notch suppression.
