Italian term or phrase: farà nascere un bulbo pilifero
Ogni capello si forma a livello di una papilla dermica, quest’ultima farà nascere un bulbo pilifero. Attraverso la divisione cellulare dei cheratinociti si formerà il capello.

I do understand the meaning here, but reading up on how this area of the body is formed and grows, I cannot make sense of the way this sentence (along with the first phrase) is described.

I began with:

"All hair develops from the dermal papillae, which will create a hair bulb"

This sounds different to the formation of this area that I have found through my research. Is it the use of "create" that I need to change.? i.e. From my research I have not actually found that the hair bulb is "created" by the dermal papillae.

Eventually shortening does occur, and then the dermal papilla induces the formation of a new bulb.

agree  philgoddard: Hair-producing. I wouldn't use "piliferous", as this text appears to be aimed at non-specialist readers.

Asker: Thanks. This makes sense now.

Asker: But could I say "from which" i.e.: All hair develops from the dermal papillae from which a piliferous bulb is then formed

Asker: I mean is this biologically correct? I read up on the physical aspect and I cannot see if this is if the way I have put it is physically/biologically consistent.

Asker: Thank you. Went with another answer, but your help has been much appreciated.
