This study found that treating SM-MSCs with 150 μg/mL IGF-1 led to the highest increases in growth factor proteins BMP-2, FGF-18, and TGF-β1 in their conditioned media.

This study reveals that basement membrane composition and structure in mouse hair follicles are specialized for distinct inter-tissue interactions, with laminin α5 being essential for maintaining these interfaces.

This study found that washing hair with surfactants reduces the internal density of hair due to cuticle lifting, and suggests that a cuticle-sealing strategy can inhibit this effect and maintain hair homeostasis.

This study observed that using a basement membrane matrix significantly improved hair follicle reconstruction in a mouse model, leading to quicker hair formation and a greater number of hair shafts compared to a control medium.

This article presents a case of Werner syndrome complicated by idiopathic membranous nephropathy, suggesting a possible but unproven genetic link between the two conditions.
