Researchers have shown that serotonin directly stimulates dermal papilla cells and promotes hair growth in lab-grown hair ...

Dermal papillae are more prominent in thick skin than thin skin. Dermal papillae increase the surface area between the epidermis and dermis, allowing for more oxygen, food, and waste to pass ...

“The dermal papilla cells act as a collective group and restoring that collectivity ... Jahoda says that now they know more about which genes need to be expressed for the cells to function, ...

But exactly how dermal papilla forms has remained elusive until now. In a recent study, researchers used confocal microscopy of live skin to show that the dermal condensate forms via cell migration.

These dermal papillae create our fingerprints, among other things. For the experiments, the researchers used mice cells to make up for the lack of human ones. “When a person loses hair, they ...
