October 1994 in “Brain Research” In this study, researchers observed that dorsal horn cells in fetal sheep begin responding to natural cutaneous stimulation by mid-gestation, coinciding with the initial innervation of the skin.
January 2016 in “Minerva Access (University of Melbourne)” This dissertation found that hair follicle transplantation promoted wound healing in mice by enhancing wound re-epithelialization and increasing nerve density in the granulation tissue.
