research A mechanism for topical cutaneous calcinosis
Epilation and DHT cause skin calcification by increasing ATP and calcium deposits.
research Defolliculated (Dfl): A Dominant Mouse Mutation Leading to Poor Sebaceous Gland Differentiation and Total Elimination of Pelage Follicles
The Dfl mutation in mice causes poor sebaceous gland function and complete hair loss.
research 693 Dermal papilla-derived Wnt ligands are required for adult hair follicle growth
Wnt ligands, produced by dermal papilla cells, are essential for adult hair growth and regeneration.
research Fine Structure of Perifollicular Nerve Endings in Human Hair
research Dermal papilla cell number specifies hair size, shape and cycling and its reduction causes follicular decline
More dermal papilla cells in hair follicles lead to larger, healthier hair, while fewer cells cause hair thinning and loss.
