,
October 2016 in “Cell Stem Cell” PDGFA/AKT signaling is important for the growth and maintenance of certain skin fat cells.
December 2016 in “Paleontological Journal” Hair growth can be induced by transplanting certain cells, but these cells lose their properties during culturing. The best cell interaction happens in a liquid medium under gravity, and using collagen doesn't help. Future research could focus on using growth factors to stimulate these cells.

,
August 2012 in “Cell Stem Cell” The study showed that some hair follicle stem cells wake up to grow hair while others stay asleep, and that the environment around them is important for hair growth.
49 citations
,
September 2007 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The study found that bioengineered hair follicles work when using cells from the same species but have issues when combining human and mouse cells.
January 2001 in “Biomedical Research” THH and PAD type III appear together early in hair growth, but deiminated THH appears later, suggesting another factor is involved.
