November 2018 in “Journal of cellular physiology” This study found that miR-124 may facilitate the differentiation of hair follicle stem cells into neuronal cells by targeting Sox9 and Ptbp1.
November 2024 in “Human Cell” This study found that treating rat whisker follicle stem cells with retinoic acid and epidermal growth factor induced them to express synaptophysin, a marker of mature neurons, although there was a reduction in other neural markers, suggesting potential for neuro-regeneration applications.
