23 citations,
July 2007 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” Hair follicle bulge cells don't help skin regrow after glucocorticoid damage; interfollicular epidermis cells do.
November 2021 in “Current Otorhinolaryngology Reports” New treatments for hair loss could involve using stem cells and a process called the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway to stimulate hair growth.
1 citations,
March 2023 in “Science Translational Medicine” Blocking a certain signal in the gp130 receptor can improve tissue healing and lessen osteoarthritis symptoms.
6 citations,
June 2022 in “Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology” The gel with icariin speeds up wound healing, reduces scarring, and helps hair growth by controlling BMP4 signaling. It also reduces inflammation and improves wound quality in mice, adapts to different wound shapes, and gradually releases icariin to aid healing. It also prevents too much collagen and myofibroblast formation during skin healing.
3 citations,
