December 2012 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” Wnt/beta-catenin signaling in the skin helps fat cell development during hair growth and repair.
December 2016 in “Paleontological Journal” Hair growth can be induced by transplanting certain cells, but these cells lose their properties during culturing.
