January 2008 in “Di-san junyi daxue xuebao” This study found that hair follicle stem cells from young rats can be induced in vitro to differentiate into corneal epithelium-like cells using homogenate of rabbit corneal limbal stroma.
January 2005 in “Di-san junyi daxue xuebao” This study found that VEGF significantly promoted hair follicle growth and regeneration in mice with scleroderma.
January 2005 in “Di-san junyi daxue xuebao” This study found that treatment with aerosol bioelectricity accelerated wound healing in burned rats by enhancing the expression of EGF and β_1 integrin in skin basal and hair follicle cells.
January 2003 in “Journal of the Fourth Military Medical University” This study found that hair follicles could regrow with a new hair bulb structure when transected at the hair bulb or lower third, highlighting the presence of stem cells in the upper portion.
January 2001 in “Acta Academiae Medicine Militaris Tertiae” In this study, the researchers reported that the expression of keratin 14 in the skin and hair follicles of neonatal and juvenile rats differs from that observed in adults or human embryos.
January 2000 in “Acta Academiae Medicine Militaris Tertiae” This study found that the distribution of hair keratin family proteins varies in normal scalp hair follicles, which may aid in identifying the origin of hair neoplasms.
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.
January 1993 in “Di-Si Junyi Daxue xuebao” This study found that type III collagen was significantly more abundant in the recovering traumatic skin of guinea pigs compared to normal skin, indicating it may play a role in tissue repair.
