Gene expression profiling of adult hair follicle dermal stem cells and progeny, dermal sheath and dermal papilla cells

Here we have developed a novel FACS strategy to prospectively isolate hair follicle dermal stem cells, dermal sheath and dermal papilla cells from adult skin initiating synchronous hair follicle regeneration and identified Hic1 as a marker of hfDSCs and Rspondins as stimulators of hfDSCs and epithelial cells, and subsequently hair follicle regeneration Comparison of gene expression of adult hair follicle mesenchymal cells undergoing initiation of hair follicle regeneration
