This study suggests that skin tumor cells in tuberous sclerosis complex may promote hamartoma morphogenesis by expressing and releasing higher levels of cathepsin B.
This study developed a three-dimensional model for studying hair follicle development, showing that immortalized dermal papilla cells retain certain differentiation activities and can induce tubule formation in vitro.
January 2009 in “Journal of Jilin University” This study found that epithelial stem cells from plucked hair follicles grow optimally when cultured on 3T3 fibroblasts feeders.
January 2008 in “Bradford Scholars (University of Bradford)” This study supports that an antibody response against anagen-specific hair follicle antigens, including trichohyalin and keratin 16, may play a role in alopecia areata.
December 2004 in “Reproduction Fertility and Development” This study used porcine models to isolate and culture stem cells from brain and hair follicles, shedding light on differentiation processes and potential markers for stem cell compartments under lab conditions.
