research In Vitro Main Pathways of Steroid Action in Cultured Hair Follicle Cells: Vascular Approach
Steroids, particularly estrogens and 5α-reductase inhibitors, affect blood vessel-related hair growth processes in hair follicle cells.
research Dynamic Expression of Ornithine Decarboxylase in Hair Growth
The study demonstrated that ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) played a significant role in hair follicle development and hair growth by being associated with cell proliferation and commitment. ODC was expressed in embryonic epidermis at sites of follicle development and persisted in proliferating bulb cells of anagen follicles, except at the base of the bulb. Its expression decreased as follicles entered catagen and resumed with new follicle initiation. In vibrissae, ODC showed a complex expression pattern, being present in both the bulb and hair shaft, and in outer root sheath cells near the follicle bulge, suggesting a link to hair follicle stem cells.
