July 1993 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” Dermal papilla cells are crucial for hair growth and can induce new hair follicles.
December 2016 in “Paleontological Journal” Hair growth can be induced by transplanting certain cells, but these cells lose their properties during culturing.
