January 2018 in “Figshare” Melatonin helps Cashmere goat hair follicles grow by affecting genes and cell signals important for their development and environment.
April 2017 in “Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open” Fetal scalp cells have more regenerative genes than adult cells, and decellularized muscle matrix is better for muscle repair than commercial alternatives.
Wound healing involves three phases and various cells and factors, with scars typically forming in adults. Chronic wounds can occur due to various issues, and abnormal scarring can lead to hypertrophic or keloid scars. Emerging research areas include the role of proteins, microRNAs, macrophage manipulation, and stem cell treatment.

December 2016 in “Paleontological Journal” Hair growth can be induced by transplanting certain cells, but these cells lose their properties during culturing. The best cell interaction happens in a liquid medium under gravity, and using collagen doesn't help. Future research could focus on using growth factors to stimulate these cells.
