February 2022 in “The journal of neuroscience/The Journal of neuroscience” Deleting the PTEN gene in mice causes nerve cells to grow larger and heal better after injury, but may cause overgrowth and hair loss in older mice.
January 2026 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” Understanding molecular signals and genetics is key to improving hair regeneration therapies.
August 2025 in “International Journal of Nanomedicine” Metal-organic frameworks can help heal wounds, reduce scars, and promote hair growth, but more research is needed.
April 2021 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Bacteria can help skin regenerate through a process called IL-1β signaling.
May 2007 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Hair can regrow in adult mice's skin after injury, and this regrowth doesn't come from existing hair cells but from skin cells in the wound, with Wnt7a protein helping this process. This could help treat baldness and scarring.

April 2015 in “Cell” Plucking some hairs can trigger nearby unplucked hairs to grow back more due to a collective response.
11 citations
,
November 2009 in “Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research” Young C57BL/6 mice heal better than BALB/c mice, and older mice heal faster but regenerate worse.
40 citations
,
May 2012 in “British Journal of Dermatology” Recognizing specific features of African-American hair can help diagnose hair loss conditions.

53 citations
,
April 2021 in “Cell Host & Microbe” Skin bacteria, specifically Staphylococcus aureus, help in wound healing and hair growth by using IL-1β signaling. Using antibiotics on skin wounds can slow down this natural healing process.
