By Hans Blumenberg

The undifferentiated epithelial cells (hair germ) grow downward, and a mass of mesenchym al tissue (the future dermal papilla) is formed at the bottom of the hair germ. The papillary blood vessels beneath the epidermis and the mass of mesenchym al tissue is then connected by subpapillary blood vessels (hair germ stage) (Fig. 6a). New cells are formed by the hair germ cells to become the intermediate cells, and the hair bud then begins to elongate downward. When the hair peg stage begins, the germinal cell layer surrounding the hair germ is limited to the lower portion, and the mass of mesenchymal tissue exists beneath it.
When the crowded basal cells and nuclei (small and darker stained) elongate perpendicularly from the epidermis, the hair germ begins to bulge conspicuously in the dermis. Mesenchymal cells gradually accumulate in the lower portion of the bulge. X600 24 3. Generation and Growth of Human Hair germ cells within the epidermis beeome swollen, a few mesenehymal eells surround the primary hair germ (Fig. 10). Mesenchymal cells then gradually accumulate in the lower portion of the bulge (Fig. 2). As shown in Fig.
Adachi and Kano (1970) have indicated that dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is the active form that testosterone takes in the hair follicle. 1).
