During this follicle regression, the Dermal Papilla niche needs to relocate from the base of growing hair bulbs to the stem cell reservoir in the upper follicle for new growth activation.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/labs.icahn.mssm.edu\/design\/option1-research&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Find Out More&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#d80b8c&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; button_border_radius=&#8221;0px&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset1&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Fullwidth Video over Background &#8211; Section 9&#8243; module_class=&#8221;fullwidth-video-over-background-section-9&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#ededed&#8221; background_image=&#8221;https:\/\/labs.icahn.mssm.edu\/placeholder31\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/660\/2022\/10\/4.png&#8221; height_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; height_phone=&#8221;&#8221; height_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; max_height=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||4%||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; collapsed=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Row | Desktop Only | RT4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;RT5 Title and Info&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h1><strong>Genomic Technologies &amp; Global Diversity<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>The Kenny Lab contributes to the development and evaluation of genomic technologies and reference resources designed to improve performance across diverse populations.
