May 2017 in “Heliyon” This study found that in a neonatal rat model, skin wounding protected against chemotherapy-induced alopecia through IL-1β signaling, making hair follicles more resistant to damage when wounding exposure was timed correctly.

September 2008 in “Journal of Cellular Physiology” This article explores potential mechanisms of acneiform skin eruptions linked to EGFR inhibition in cancer patients, focusing on EGFR's role in controlling IL-1-dependent inflammation at hair follicles, but reports no clinical results.

,
January 2016 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that IL-6 knockout mice exhibited increased wound-induced hair neogenesis compared to wild-type mice, likely due to enhanced STAT3 activation facilitated by compensatory cytokine activity.

November 2015 in “Experimental Dermatology” This study reported that IL-6/STAT3 signaling influences p63 isoform expression in keratinocytes and is involved in wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis, highlighting the interplay between immune and developmental pathways.
October 2025 in “Cell Proliferation” In laboratory research, investigators found that apoptotic vesicles from interleukin-10-treated fibroblasts promote wound healing and reduce fibrotic scarring by enhancing mitochondrial function, modulating collagen composition, and inhibiting the Hedgehog signalling pathway, offering potential for regenerative medicine applications.
