A multi-scale model for hair follicles reveals heterogeneous domains driving rapid spatiotemporal hair growth patterning

The control principles behind robust cyclic regeneration of hair follicles (HFs) remain unclear. Using multi-scale modeling, we show that coupling inhibitors and activators with physical growth of HFs is sufficient to drive periodicity and excitability of hair regeneration. Model simulations and exp...
