Trans-gender induction of hair follicles
Amanda J. Reynolds1, Clifford Lawrence2, Peter B. Cserhalmi-Friedman3, Angela M. Christiano3 & Colin A. B. Jahoda1
Abstract
Human follicle cells can be induced to grow in an incompatible host of the other sex.
Adult hair growth and the cyclic regeneration of hair follicles are driven by finely regulated interactions between dermal and epidermal tissue at the base of the follicle1, 2. In rodents, isolated hair-follicle dermal cells that are reintroduced in vivo can induce new follicles3, 4, but this has never been achieved in humans.
