January 1996 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The study investigated the role of dermal papilla cells from human hair follicles in secreting factors that promote the growth of endothelial cells. It was found that these cells secreted vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which was identified as a key mitogenic factor for endothelial cells. This suggested that dermal papilla cells played a significant role in hair follicle vascularization and potentially influenced hair growth through the secretion of VEGF and other factors. The findings highlighted the importance of the interaction between dermal papilla cells and endothelial cells in the context of hair follicle biology.
