January 2018 in “Scientific reports” This study demonstrated that bioluminescence imaging of NG2+ cells in transgenic rats allows in vivo monitoring of hair follicle cycles to study hair growth and follicle regeneration.
January 2008 in “Durham e-Theses (Durham University)” This study observed that stem cells from the hair follicle dermis share similarities with bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells and have potential to form neural-like cells under specific conditions.

March 2021 in “Nature” In this study, increased corticosterone from chronic stress prolonged hair follicle stem cell quiescence in mice, inhibiting regeneration, but restoring Gas6 expression overcame this inhibition.
