Essential role of macrophages in contact hypersensitivity-induced hair regeneration [DPCP vs control]

This work demonstrates that contact hypersensitivity exerts a direct stimulatory effect on hair follicles to fasten anagen entry. The stimulatory effect on hair growth is mediated by macrophages. For our analysis on the differences in gene expression under DPCP treatment, we utilized whole skin samples from day 2. We conducted a comparative gene expression profiling using RNA-seq analysis for DPCP and control samples
