April 2013 in “Advances in Wound Care” This study found that absence of α3 integrin in mice led to faster wound healing but also caused inflammation, hair loss, and skin defects, suggesting complex roles in skin integrity and repair.
March 2024 in “Advanced science” This study observed that a novel extracellular matrix hydrogel made from human fibroblast-derived matrix improved wound healing in animal models, showing significant effects such as hair follicle formation, reduced inflammation, enhanced pro-healing growth factor levels, and interaction with macrophages, compared to traditional collagen hydrogels.
