Figure 3: (A) Simulations of the reaction-diffusion model (solid lines) and measured follicle length (solid circles). (B) The function a(x) describing the pro-survival factor released by the regenerative stem cell pool. The inset shows a schematic of a hair follicle regressing slower as it gets shorter and closer to higher values of the pro-survival factor modeled with the function a(x) and released by the regenerative stem cells.

Apoptotic Cells May Drive Cell Death in Hair Follicles During Regression Cycle
