First, imaging experiments revealed that Tregs have a close relationship with the stem cells that reside within hair follicles and allow them to regenerate: the number of active Tregs clustering
around follicle stem cells typically swells by three-fold as follicles enter the growth phase of their regular cycle of rest and regeneration.
«Dermal papilla
cells give rise to hair
follicles, and the notion of cloning hair
follicles using inductive dermal papilla
cells has been
around for 40 years or so,» said co-study leader Colin Jahoda, PhD, professor of

Almost 100 research teams
around the world have now used these special mice to help find adult
stem cells in hair
follicles, liver, muscle, and other tissues.
