January 2024 in “International Journal of Trichology” In this laboratory study, researchers found that human platelet-rich plasma (hPRP) significantly improved the proliferation and hair-inductive capacity of human dermal papilla cells (hDPCs) compared to fetal bovine serum, suggesting hPRP as a potential substitute for FBS in expanding hDPCs for clinical hair regeneration therapies.

February 2006 in “Stem Cells and Development” This study found that hair follicle-derived dermal stem cells and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells have similar growth, differentiation capabilities, and surface marker expressions, suggesting hair follicles could be accessible sources for mesenchymal stem cells.
January 2000 in “Acta Academiae Medicine Militaris Tertiae” This study observed that epidermal growth factor significantly enhanced the growth of dermal papilla, dermal sheath cells, and fibroblasts in vitro, particularly benefiting dermal sheath cells.
