Interleukin-6 IL-6 adipose-derived stem cells ADSCs cell proliferation hair follicles ischemia/reperfusion skin flaps tissue repair stem cells hair growth skin repair

TLDR IL-6 from stem cells helps repair skin and grow hair.

The study demonstrated that Interleukin-6 (IL-6) secreted by adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) significantly promoted tissue repair in ischemia/reperfusion-treated skin flaps by increasing cell proliferation and the formation of new hair follicles. The findings suggested that IL-6 played a crucial role in enhancing the regenerative capabilities of ADSCs, making them a promising therapeutic option for improving skin flap viability and promoting hair growth in damaged tissues.
