92 citations,
August 2017 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America” Newborn mouse skin cells can grow hair and this process can be recreated in adult cells to potentially help with hair loss.
24 citations,
April 2012 in “Developmental Biology” Dermal papillae cells, important for hair growth, come from multiple cell lines and can be formed by skin cells, regardless of their origin or hair cycle phase. These cells rarely divide, but their ability to shape tissue may contribute to their efficiency in inducing hair growth.
16 citations,
January 2011 in “Archives of Dermatological Research” The study found that expanded skin regenerates similarly to normal skin, with 77 genes playing a role in the process.
15 citations,
January 1995 in “Archives of dermatological research” OCT binds strongly to hair sheath cells and may affect skin and hair growth with fewer side effects than vitamin D3.
8 citations,
August 2016 in “Journal of pathology and translational medicine” CD99 is highly present in certain skin cells and could help treat skin conditions.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Ovol2 is important for proper skin healing and hair growth.
48 citations,
March 2010 in “PloS one” C/EBPalpha and C/EBPbeta are crucial for normal skin and oil gland cell development in adult mice.
23 citations,
May 1998 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” Insulin or IGF-I is needed for hair growth in newborn mice, while minoxidil helps adult mouse hair grow, suggesting a way to study human hair loss.
84 citations,
December 2008 in “Developmental biology” Retinoic acid-binding proteins in skin are regulated by β-catenin and Notch signalling.

12 citations,
May 2017 in “Journal of Dermatological Treatment” Adult acne severity is influenced by stress, skin sensitivity, makeup, stopping oral contraceptives, and requires female-specific treatment guidelines.
February 2022 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Newborn skin cells can change into wound-healing cells more easily than adult ones, which might explain why baby skin heals without scars. Understanding this could help treat chronic wounds and prevent scarring.
