» Mammalian hairs are formed by differentiation and keratinization of cells
» produced in the epidermal matrix (Figs 3, 4). Using the rodent vibrissa
» follicle as a model, transplantation studies have shown that the dermal
» papilla, a discrete population of specialized fibroblasts, is of prime
» importance in the growth of hair. Papillae induce hair growth when
» implanted into follicles and can interact with skin epidermis to form new
» hair follicles. When grown in culture, papilla cells display singular
» morphological and behavioural characteristics compared with connective
» tissue cells from other skin sources. We report here that serially cultured
» adult papilla cells can induce the growth of hair when implanted into
» follicles which otherwise would not grow hairs. This finding presents an
» opportunity to characterize properties distinguishing the papilla cell
» population from other skin fibroblasts, and, more specifically, those which
» control hair growth. The eventual application of this work to human hair
» replacement techniques can also be envisaged.

I think the biggest blow is Intercytex press release in March, that kind of dampen my spirits about new research despite how promising it may sound.
