Nrf2-Mediated Expansion of Pilosebaceous Cells Accelerates Cutaneous Wound Healing

    Sukalp Muzumdar, Hayley Hiebert, Eric Haertel … Matthias Schäfer
    Studysummary This study found that genetic activation of Nrf2 in keratinocytes accelerates wound repair by enhancing cell proliferation and re-epithelialization, suggesting potential use for Nrf2-activating compounds in individuals with impaired healing.
