March 2011 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Hair follicles help guide nerve growth, improving touch recovery in skin grafts.
This study found that collagen VI is crucial for peripheral nerve function and regeneration, and its absence promotes abnormal hair regrowth after skin wounding in mice, revealing potential therapeutic targets for nerve injuries and hair loss.
