May 2010 in “British Journal of Dermatology” This study found that intermediate hair follicles are morphologically distinct from terminal follicles and offer a novel model for developing new alopecia therapies despite being technically more challenging to study.
This study identified a proliferative intermediate transcriptional state associated with the transition from secondary hair germ cells to lower hair follicle-associated cells during early hair follicle regeneration in mice.
June 2025 in “Frontiers in Physiology” This study demonstrated that PGF 2α significantly stimulates hair growth in human hair follicles via a receptor-driven mechanism, with a notably stronger response in intermediate follicles than in terminal ones, suggesting potential clinical significance for conditions like alopecia.
September 1984 in “Journal of Biological Education” Human hair growth involves active, resting, and intermediate phases, and examining plucked hairs can teach students about hair biology and diseases.
June 2022 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study revealed that nestin-expressing progenitor cells capable of becoming ORS keratinocytes are present during both hair follicle development and in adult hair follicles.
