Dermal papilla (DP) are specialised mesenchymal cells that activate the formation of new hair follicles. In this issue of The FEBS Journal , Zhang and colleagues show that enhancing the β‐catenin signalling pathway in DP cells allows faster and denser hair growth, providing a potential target for hair loss treatments and for improving hair regeneration techniques.
