Interactions between epithelial and dermal cells are essential for hair follicle morphogenesis
and maintenance. In experimental trials of hair regeneration, isolated dermal cells have
been shown to possess hair‐inducing capacity. However, dermal cells lose this potential
immediately after cultivation. Sphere‐forming multipotent cells derived from the dermis
possess hair‐inducing capacity. These previous findings raise the question of whether hair‐
inducing capacity depends on the identity as dermal cells or the process of sphere …
