Ovol2 is crucial for hair growth and skin healing by controlling cell movement and growth.
September 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” BMPs are crucial for hair growth and their decrease by androgens leads to hair loss.
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.
