Sensory neuron and Merkel-cell changes in the skin happen independently during normal skin maintenance.
Sensory neuron and Merkel cell changes in the skin happen independently during normal skin maintenance.
December 2016 in “Paleontological Journal” Hair growth can be induced by transplanting certain cells, but these cells lose their properties during culturing. The best cell interaction happens in a liquid medium under gravity, and using collagen doesn't help. Future research could focus on using growth factors to stimulate these cells.
