January 2015 in “Experimental Dermatology” This study developed a humanized scalp model in mice which demonstrated that transplanted cultured human hair follicle dermal cells contributed to the restoration of damaged hair follicles.
August 2026 in “Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry” This study found that administering tolerogenic dendritic cell-conditioned medium to dihydrotestosterone-treated mice promoted hair regrowth by modulating the follicular microenvironment, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines, and activating key signaling pathways, highlighting its potential as a treatment for androgenetic alopecia.

May 1993 in “The journal of cell biology/The Journal of cell biology” This study suggests that mNotch expression plays a significant role in hair follicle differentiation and cell fate selection within the follicle during development.

September 2018 in “Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications” This study suggests that co-culturing human outer root sheath cells with human dermal papilla cells can restore their ability to induce hair growth by altering gene expression through paracrine signaling.

January 1994 in “Differentiation” In this study, researchers found that bulge cells in mouse hair follicles undergo transient proliferation during early anagen, indicating their role as follicular stem cells. However, another factor beyond dermal papilla proximity may be required to initiate a new anagen phase.
