Skin cells can help create early hair-like structures in lab cultures.
research Characterization and Chromosomal Localization of Human Hair-Specific Keratin Genes and Comparative Expression During the Hair Growth Cycle
Two specific hair keratin genes are active during hair growth and decline as hair transitions to rest.
research Excessive hair growth around local β‐interferon injection sites for malignant melanoma
β-interferon injections for melanoma can cause excessive hair growth at the injection sites.
