Using molecular signatures of human dermal papilla cells grown in a 3-D environment, researchers generate new hair follicles using a patient’s own cells. Using this new approach, the researchers then ...

Hair growth in nude mice transplanted with human iPSC-derived dermal papilla cells that were combined with mouse epithelial cells inside a biodegradable scaffold. Left insert: enlarged outside view.

Hair loss affects millions of Americans, often causing significant emotional distress and impacting self-confidence. While ...

Dermal papilla (DP) cells, found at the base of hair follicles, play a crucial role in regulating the hair growth cycle. They send signals to the surrounding skin cells, prompting the hair ...

In Part I of the review (July/August 2004), the anatomy of hair follicles, the diagnostic approach to diseases leading to hair loss, and nonscarring alopecias were discussed. In this article (Part ...

Hair serves an important cosmetic function for humans, and the hair follicle produces sweat gland products that help to control body temperature and release pheromones 3. Billions of people ...

The hair follicle is a major repository for epidermal stem cells. Learning more about the processes that regulate the differentiation of these cells will improve the prospects for skin replacement ...

Stem cells can regenerate diseased bone marrow and treat hematological conditions, but currently they can only be collected by painful bone marrow extraction and complicated cell sorting techniques.
