HNG significantly increased hair shaft elongation in vibrissa hair follicle organ culture.
2
In developing somatosensory cortex, domains were smaller than, and distinct from, the barrels, which represent sensory input from a single vibrissa.
3
A finite element method was used to model the motion of a single vibrissa fixed at its base, using the aforementioned fluid force.
4
The force of the vibrating air on a vibrissa was modeled using the exact solution for a vibrating infinite cylinder in linear fluid.

Our findings identify Trps1 as a novel regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway and of early hair follicle progenitors in the developing vibrissa follicle.
