Wound Healing Induced Hair Follicle Regeneration

    Yi-Qun Jiang, Peggy Myung
    TLDR New hair can grow at wound sites, which could help improve treatments for hair loss and wound healing.
    Wound-induced hair neogenesis (WIHN) is a rare event in adult mammals where new hair follicles form at wound sites, involving key signals like Wnt and Shh, and arising from non-hair-residing epithelial and dermal cells. Understanding these mechanisms could improve clinical applications for hair follicle regeneration and wound healing, though further exploration of cellular behaviors and signaling pathways is needed for clinical translation.
