Research cited in this study
6 / 6 resultsresearch The Transcriptional Regulator Prdm1 Is Essential for the Early Development of the Sensory Whisker Follicle and Is Linked to the Beta-Catenin First Dermal Signal
Prdm1 is necessary for early whisker development in mice but not for other hair, and its absence changes nerve and brain patterns related to whiskers.
research Hierarchical Patterning Modes Orchestrate Hair Follicle Morphogenesis
Hair follicle patterns form through a mix of self-organization and signaling interactions.
research An Integrated Transcriptome Atlas of Embryonic Hair Follicle Progenitors, Their Niche, and the Developing Skin
The study identified unique genes in hair follicle cells and their environment, suggesting these genes help organize cells for hair growth.
research Mesenchymal–Epithelial Interactions During Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Cycling
The conclusion is that certain cell interactions and signals are crucial for hair growth and regeneration.
