June 2026 in “Scientific Reports” The study investigates the gene expression profiles of nestin-expressing hair follicle-derived cells (NHFCs) and compares them to other stem/progenitor cell systems. NHFCs show significantly higher levels of neurotrophic factors like Bdnf, Ngf, and Vegf, suggesting strong neuroprotective properties. They also exhibit a unique expression pattern of neural differentiation markers, with lower Nes and higher Tubb3 levels, indicating a tendency towards neuronal maturation. The presence of both neuronal and glial markers highlights NHFCs' distinct differentiation potential, positioning them as promising candidates for neuroregenerative therapies and regenerative medicine.
