September 2023 in “Frontiers in cell and developmental biology” Vav2 changes how hair follicle stem cells' genes work as they age, which might improve regeneration but also raise cancer risk.
18 citations
,
January 2019 in “Experimental Dermatology” Certain cells outside the hair follicle's bulge area can quickly regenerate damaged hair follicles, potentially helping to reduce hair loss from cancer treatments.

36 citations
,
October 2015 in “Cell reports” Gab1 protein is crucial for hair growth and stem cell renewal, and Mapk signaling helps maintain these processes.
25 citations
,
December 1992 in “Seminars in cell biology” Skin stem cells are maintained by signals from nearby cells and vary in their ability to renew and mature.
3 citations
,

1 citations
,
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Lower proximal cup cells, not bulge stem cells, regenerate hair follicles after chemotherapy.
April 2010 in “Cancer Research” Stat3 activation increases hair follicle progenitors but reduces bulge region stem cells.
1 citations
,
January 2011 in “International Journal of Trichology” Hair follicle stem cells have significant potential for treating various disorders.
