October 2013 in “Stem Cell Research & Therapy” This study found that combining polybrene and a ROCK inhibitor can effectively expand human keratinocyte stem/progenitor cells carrying a transgene, aiding their use in regenerative medicine.
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.
May 2022 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study found that nestin-expressing unipotent progenitor cells capable of differentiating into outer root sheath keratinocytes are present during hair follicle development and in adult hair follicles.
