TLDR L-borneol helps skin wound healing by promoting stem cell differentiation.
The study establishes a stable system for isolating and culturing rat whisker hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) and demonstrates that L-borneol, a component of Chinese medicine derived from Cinnamomum camphora, promotes the differentiation of HFSCs into basal cells, aiding in skin wound repair. The research identifies rno-miR-127 as a novel microRNA that regulates this differentiation by targeting and negatively regulating PODXL2. The findings suggest that L-borneol facilitates skin injury repair by promoting HFSC differentiation through the negative regulation of PODXL2 by rno-miR-127, as demonstrated in a rat full-thickness skin defect model.
