October 2012 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Scientists used a special imaging technique to observe that hair follicle regeneration involves cell division and structural changes, mostly in the lower part of the follicle, and that the dermal papilla at the base is crucial for regrowth.
Live imaging helps us understand skin immune responses and develop treatments.
July 2016 in “Cancer research” Mutant cells in hair follicles are influenced by their location and interactions with surrounding cells.
January 2026 in “Inflammation and Regeneration” Two-photon microscopy improves skin imaging but faces safety and cost challenges for clinical use.
December 2012 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” The conclusion is that the dermal papilla is crucial for hair follicle regrowth, and hair follicles undergo significant structural changes in addition to cell division during regeneration.
