TLDR Injecting monocyto-angiotropin into hare skin increases hair growth by forming new blood vessels.
The study demonstrated that injecting monocyto-angiotropin (MAT), a low molecular weight polypeptide from porcine monocytes, into the skin of hares induced new blood vessel formation and active hemodynamics, leading to significant hair growth at the injection site within 7-10 days. This effect was not observed in control sites, which took over 5 weeks to show comparable hair growth. The findings suggested that MAT could promote tissue hyperfunction and might have implications for wound healing and tumor growth.
