The homing of exogenous hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells into hair follicle niches

In our study, we found that low-passage dermal papilla cells (DPCs) and dermal sheath cells (DSCs) has higher homing rate than that of high-passage DPCs and DSCs. To uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying the difference of homing rate between low-passage DPCs/DSCs and high-passage DPCs/DSCs, we perform transcriptome analysis of mRNA expression profiles of low-passage and high-passage DPCs and DSCs. Overall design: The mRNA expression profiles of low-passage and high-passage DPCs and DSCs were detected.
