July 1996 in “Archives of Dermatological Research” bFGF, VEGF, and minoxidil decrease collagen production in hair cells, possibly affecting hair growth.
December 2016 in “Paleontological Journal” Hair growth can be induced by transplanting certain cells, but these cells lose their properties during culturing. The best cell interaction happens in a liquid medium under gravity, and using collagen doesn't help. Future research could focus on using growth factors to stimulate these cells.

August 2023 in “Scientific reports” Human stem cells were turned into cells similar to those that help grow hair and showed potential for hair follicle formation.
May 2019 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” Disrupting the Tsc2 gene in certain cells leads to thicker skin, larger hair, and changes in hair growth signaling, which can be partly reversed with specific treatment.
May 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The conclusion is that a new method combining magnetic tweezers and traction force microscopy may help understand skin cell interactions and diseases.
