August 2018 in “BMC Biotechnology” A protein found in safflower seeds can stimulate hair growth and speed up wound healing in mice.
Wound healing involves three phases and various cells and factors, with scars typically forming in adults. Chronic wounds can occur due to various issues, and abnormal scarring can lead to hypertrophic or keloid scars. Emerging research areas include the role of proteins, microRNAs, macrophage manipulation, and stem cell treatment.
773 citations,
August 2017 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” The secretions of mesenchymal stem cells could be used for healing without using the cells themselves.

156 citations,
October 2012 in “Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology” Different types of stem cells in hair follicles play unique roles in wound healing and hair growth, with some stem cells not originating from existing hair follicles but from non-hair follicle cells. WNT signaling and the Lhx2 factor are key in creating new hair follicles.
