September 2011 in “Tissue Engineering Part B-reviews” Hair follicle regeneration in skin grafts may be possible using stem cells and tissue engineering.
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.
February 2024 in “Frontiers in physiology” Modifying certain signals in the body can help wounds heal without scars and regrow hair.
56 citations
,
May 2017 in “Nature Cell Biology” Hair can regrow after certain stem cells are lost because other stem cells can take over their role.
April 2016 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Mice without the p21 gene can fully regenerate injured ears due to reduced Sdf1 increase and leukocyte recruitment, suggesting new ways to induce tissue regeneration in mammals.
11 citations
,
June 2016 in “npj Regenerative Medicine” The symposium concluded that understanding how different species repair tissue and how this changes with age can help advance regenerative medicine.
