June 2017 in “Nature Communications” This study identified WNT10A as crucial for adult epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation, suggesting β-catenin pathway activation may help address regenerative defects in WNT10A mutation patients.
May 2022 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study found that nestin-expressing unipotent progenitor cells capable of differentiating into outer root sheath keratinocytes are present during hair follicle development and in adult hair follicles.
