May 2007 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Hair can regrow in adult mice's skin after injury, and this regrowth doesn't come from existing hair cells but from skin cells in the wound, with Wnt7a protein helping this process. This could help treat baldness and scarring.

,
May 2024 in “PubMed” This study found that the current evidence is of low or very low certainty and thus does not clearly support using PRP in combination with microneedling or laser therapy for treating acne scars, indicating a need for further well-designed studies.
December 2012 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” The conclusion is that the dermal papilla is crucial for hair follicle regrowth, and hair follicles undergo significant structural changes in addition to cell division during regeneration.
6 citations
,
December 2018 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science” This study found that a highly resistant structure, located at the interface between the cuticle and cortex of human hair, acts as a penetration barrier, which the authors propose to name the "cuticle anchored resistant base" or CARB.
2 citations
,
September 2020 in “Pakistan Journal of Zoology” This study observed that red sindhi cattle have variations in skin structure between age and sex groups, with more developed skin appendages in adults and a higher density of sweat glands in younger cattle.
