January 2020 in “Open University of Cape Town (University of Cape Town)” This study explored the induction of hair follicles using neonatal mouse dermis and human keratinocytes, aiming to improve burn wound treatments. It found that neonatal mouse mesenchymal cells initially had hair-inducing capabilities, as they expressed dermal papilla signature genes, but lost this potential during in vitro propagation. However, culturing these cells at high densities or in spheroids restored their inductive potential. Human foreskin keratinocytes exhibited stem cell properties but faced challenges in expansion, leading to the use of immortalized HaCaT keratinocytes, which showed induction by upregulating Wnt signaling genes. The study concluded that efficient culture methods are necessary to maintain the undifferentiated state of human keratinocytes for potential hair follicle induction.
