April 2023 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” DKK2 and SOSTDC1 together are necessary for the normal timing of the first regression phase in the hair growth cycle.
December 2016 in “Paleontological Journal” Hair growth can be induced by transplanting certain cells, but these cells lose their properties during culturing.
