June 2019 in “Stem cells” This study found that extracellular vesicles from stimulated human dermal fibroblasts enhanced hair follicle growth ex vivo by activating dermal papilla cells and involving the Norrin and β-catenin pathways.

August 2019 in “Cell Proliferation” This study found that 3D cultured hair follicle-like constructs, which include keratinocytes and dermal papilla cells, showed improved gene expression and cell interactions relevant to hair follicle development.

August 2005 in “Archives of Dermatological Research” Scalp dermal papilla and fibrous sheath cells have different MMP expression than scalp dermal fibroblasts.

July 2019 in “Cell Proliferation” In this study, researchers developed a chemical cocktail and suspension culture method to transform human dermal fibroblasts into dermal papilla-like cells capable of inducing hair follicle formation in vitro and in vivo.
July 2026 in “Acta Biomaterialia” This study introduced a bioengineering platform that creates early-stage hair peg-like structures within tissue-engineered skin substitutes by integrating human keratinocytes and dermal papilla cells with laser-micropatterned collagen scaffolds, providing a foundation for future appendage-inclusive skin regeneration efforts.
