    TLDR Hyaluronic acid and versican are important for skin healing and hair growth and might help in regenerative medicine.
    The document reviewed the importance of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in tissue structure and function, focusing on two key components within the skin ECM: Hyaluronic Acid (HA) and Versican (Ver). These molecules are crucial for various skin processes including cell differentiation, wound healing, and the hair follicle cycle and development. The review highlighted the active roles that HA and Ver play in the ECM, suggesting their potential significance in regenerative medicine.
