May 2007 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Hair can regrow in adult mice's skin after injury, and this regrowth doesn't come from existing hair cells but from skin cells in the wound, with Wnt7a protein helping this process. This could help treat baldness and scarring.

June 2017 in “Experimental Dermatology” The authors suggest that tooth, dermal scale, epidermal scale, feather, and hair evolved in parallel from a shared placode/dermal cell unit in an early vertebrate gnathostome with odontodes, around 420 million years ago.
April 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that long-term hair follicle stem cells originate from embryonic progenitor cells in a niche with reduced Wnt/β-catenin signaling, which is essential for their specification.

June 2014 in “BMC genomics” This study identified the placenta at the base of the ovary as the origin of poplar seed hair development and detailed transcriptome dynamics during the growth process.
January 2015 in “CU Scholar (University of Colorado Boulder)” This research found that Foxc1 is critical for maintaining quiescence in activated hair follicle stem cells and that the cancer cell-of-origin influences tumor heterogeneity in mouse skin squamous cell carcinoma.
128 citations
,
February 1992 in “British Journal of Dermatology” The researchers reported that basal cell carcinoma tumor cells strongly express keratins typical of basal keratinocytes and some hair follicle components but lack differentiation markers, suggesting a follicular or pluripotent stem cell origin.
25 citations
,
March 2019 in “Dermatologic therapy” This study reviewed the current state of intralesional therapy for keratoacanthoma, finding that while methotrexate, 5-fluorouracil, and interferon alpha are common agents, guidelines are still needed, and histopathological confirmation is advised to prevent misdiagnosis with squamous cell carcinoma.

,
January 2001 in “Journal of Cutaneous Laser Therapy” This study found that wound healing after CO(2) laser resurfacing is faster with occlusive dressings, as they enhance cell migration from hair follicles, compared to untreated skin, which showed delayed re-epithelialization.
