April 2016 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that the CD301b-expressing subpopulation of macrophages plays a crucial role in promoting reparative processes during the mid-stage of skin wound healing in a mouse model.
November 2025 in “Wound Repair and Regeneration” This review highlights single-cell sequencing's role in understanding macrophages' diverse functions and subtypes in skin wound healing, emphasizing macrophages' importance in tissue restoration and identifying key genes involved in the process.
May 2022 in “Journal of Immunology” In this study, a TGF-β mimic molecule from Heligmosomoides polygyrus was observed to enhance wound healing in mice, with improved tissue regeneration and specific immune cell recruitment without increased scarring.
