research Stimulation of the Follicular Bulge LGR5+ and LGR6+ Stem Cells with the Gut-Derived Human Alpha Defensin 5 Results in Decreased Bacterial Presence, Enhanced Wound Healing, and Hair Growth from Tissues Devoid of Adnexal Structures
In this study, researchers found that intestine-derived human alpha defensin 5 enhances wound healing, reduces bacterial load, and promotes hair growth in murine burn wound beds by increasing LGR stem cell migration.
