    TLDR Wound-induced hair growth may help study regeneration and aging, but it's unclear if this ability decreases with age.
    The document reviewed the phenomenon of wound-induced hair neogenesis (WIHN), where functional hair follicles regenerate during the healing of large skin wounds in some mammals. It highlighted WIHN as a valuable system for studying mammalian regeneration and aging, noting that while the decline in hair follicle number and cycling with age was well-known, it was unclear if hair follicle regeneration also decreased with age. The review explored the cellular and molecular mechanisms of WIHN, discussed known age-related changes, and identified unanswered questions for future research.
