Laminin-511 and integrin beta-1 in hair follicle development and basal cell carcinoma formation.
BMC Dev Biol. 2010: 112
Initiation of the hair follicle placode and its subsequent growth, maturation and cycling in post-natal skin requires signaling interactions between epithelial cells and adjacent dermal cells and involves Shh signaling via the primary cilium. Previous reports have implicated laminins in hair follicle epithelial invagination.
