Studysummary In this study, researchers observed that abdominal wounds in laboratory rats healed faster, completing epithelialization in 20 days versus 30 days for back wounds, possibly due to a higher expression of skin stem cell marker genes in the abdominal area.

research Single-Cell Transcriptomics of Traced Epidermal and Hair Follicle Stem Cells Reveals Rapid Adaptations During Wound Healing

209 citations , October 2018 in “Cell Reports”

This study found that Lgr5 and Lgr6 stem cells both activated wound-healing genes, but only Lgr5 stem cells changed their identity to contribute to new skin formation during wound repair.

research Defining Stem Cell Dynamics and Migration During Wound Healing in Mouse Skin Epidermis

363 citations , March 2017 in “Nature Communications”

This study found that, in mouse tail epidermis, stem cells rapidly activate and regenerate new progenitors to repair wounds, with mechanisms affecting their proliferation, differentiation, and migration.

research Hair Follicle and Interfollicular Epidermal Stem Cells Make Varying Contributions to Wound Regeneration

47 citations , September 2015 in “Cell Cycle”

This study found that hair follicle and interfollicular epidermis stem cells contribute differently to skin regeneration, with their persistence influenced by factors like spatial constraints and competition moderated by Notch suppression.

research Wound Healing and Skin Regeneration

359 citations , January 2015 in “Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine”

This article reviews the role of skin appendages in wound healing and appendage regeneration, discussing cellular and molecular mechanisms but reports no new experimental findings.

research Epithelial Stem Cells And Implications For Wound Repair

156 citations , October 2012 in “Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology”

This study found that hair follicle stem cells initially contribute to wound re-epithelialization, but long-lasting epidermal cells are primarily derived from a stem cell population in the isthmus portion of hair follicles.

research Hair Follicle Stem Cells Provide a Functional Niche for Melanocyte Stem Cells

283 citations , February 2011 in “Cell stem cell”

COL17A1 is crucial for preventing hair graying and loss by supporting hair and pigment stem cells.

research The Hair Follicle as a Dynamic Mini-Organ

759 citations , February 2009 in “Current Biology”

This review summarizes fundamental concepts and recent advancements in hair follicle biology, including insights from mouse models into broader molecular and cellular processes relevant to regeneration and development.

research An Extended Epidermal Response Heals Cutaneous Wounds in the Absence of a Hair Follicle Stem Cell Contribution

170 citations , November 2007 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study found that in the absence of hair follicles, cutaneous wounds in mice showed delayed reepithelialization but eventually achieved normal wound closure after expanding the activated epidermis region.
