September 2021 in “Journal of Molecular Histology” In this study, the researchers identified LHX2 as a specific marker for hair follicle placodes, differentiating them from eccrine sweat gland placodes through double immunofluorescence staining.
November 2025 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Mesenchymal stiffness affects sweat gland cell development.
April 2023 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study developed protocols to create skin organoids with hair follicles and other appendages from human induced pluripotent stem cells, representing a significant step towards understanding hair follicle development and potential applications in modeling skin diseases and reconstructive surgeries.
In this study, Sox13 was identified as a novel marker for early hair follicle development and differentiation in mice, though it appears to be dispensable for overall epidermal and adnexal development.
