    Studysummary This study reports that sebaceous glands can regenerate after injury through stem cell plasticity, with hair-follicle-derived stem cells replacing sebaceous gland progenitors and playing a crucial role in the regeneration process, which is dependent on FGFR2 signaling and aided by hair growth induction.
