	abstract = {The commencement and course of cell proliferation is described  in proanagen hair follicles of ferrets. Initiation of autumn fur growth  was synchronised in 32 animals using melatonin implants. Skin samples  containing S-phase cells labelled in vivo with bromodeoxyuridine were  collected from groups of four animals up until the time of development  of metanagen follicles at 14 days post-implant. Cells were visualised  by an indirect immunocytochemical method and counts made of  proliferating cells in the hair germ, epithelial strand/outer root  sheath, connective tissue sheath and dermal papilla. Telogen follicles  showed no labelling in all four tissues until 4 days after melatonin  implant. The largest number of proliferating cells were in the hair  germ, which formed the new fibre and inner root sheath. The cell  labelling index for this tissue remained high at 14 days post-implant.  In other tissues, cell proliferation reached peaks during mid to late  proanagen, then declined as the metanagen state was reached. These  results indicate that some key signalling events controlling ferret hair  growth occur between 0 and 4 days after the melatonin implant, and  illustrate the separate processes of follicular regeneration and fibre  growth occurring in proanagen follicles.  },
