January 2013 in “Methods in molecular biology” This study describes a method for labeling and tracking hair follicle stem cells in mouse skin using a Cre/lox recombination system with tamoxifen, providing insights into stem cell behavior and contribution to tissue regeneration.
72 citations
,
July 2012 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that mice with a specific loss of DNA methyltransferase 1 showed uneven epidermal thickness, reduced hair regeneration, and progressive alopecia, emphasizing DNA methylation's role in stem cell homeostasis.
13 citations
,
April 2016 in “Journal of Visualized Experiments” This study describes a method for isolating stem cells and keratinocytes from mouse hair follicles using FACS technology, facilitating the study of stem cell biology.
35 citations
,
December 2008 in “PubMed” In this study, researchers reported that specific immunoreactivity patterns observed in hair follicle stem cell markers suggest different origins for trichilemmoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma in human skin tissues.
21 citations
,
October 2013 in “Molecular Biology of the Cell” This study found that the protein CCN2 in dermal papilla cells is a physiologically relevant suppressor of hair follicle formation by destabilizing β-catenin, which may help maintain stem cell quiescence.
