December 2012 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” The conclusion is that the dermal papilla is crucial for hair follicle regrowth, and hair follicles undergo significant structural changes in addition to cell division during regeneration.
October 2012 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Scientists used a special imaging technique to observe that hair follicle regeneration involves cell division and structural changes, mostly in the lower part of the follicle, and that the dermal papilla at the base is crucial for regrowth.
September 2012 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Scientists successfully created fully functional hair follicles using bioengineering methods and stem cells.
September 2011 in “Clinical Biochemistry” Certain sugars increase in some layers of the hair follicle during the middle of the healing process in rats, which may help improve healing.
Integrin alphavbeta6 is important for wound healing and hair growth, and blocking it may improve these processes.
January 2008 in “The Year book of dermatology” After skin injury, adult mice can grow new hair follicles, and this process can be increased or stopped by manipulating Wnt signals.
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 process can be boosted by increasing Wnt7a, a protein. This could potentially help treat baldness and change our understanding of hair growth.
Hair follicle-like structures can form when specific hair cells are mixed and implanted in mice.
