research Epidermal Stem Cells do not Communicate Through Gap Junctions 73 citations , January 2002 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Epidermal stem cells don't use gap junctions to communicate.
research As a carrier–transporter for hair follicle reconstitution, platelet-rich plasma promotes proliferation and induction of mouse dermal papilla cells 32 citations , April 2017 in “Scientific Reports” Platelet-rich plasma can help grow more mouse hair follicles, but it doesn't work for human hair follicles yet.
research 655 In vitro cultivation of dermal-epidermal composites in a single medium supports human hair follicle neogenesis in xenografts July 2024 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” A single medium, PRIME AIRLIFT, supports better human hair follicle formation in grafts.
research Self‐organizing hair peg‐like structures from dissociated skin progenitor cells: New insights for human hair follicle organoid engineering and Turing patterning in an asymmetric morphogenetic field 26 citations , January 2019 in “Experimental Dermatology” Researchers created early-stage hair-like structures from skin cells, showing how these cells can self-organize, but more is needed for complete hair growth.
