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.
November 2013 in “Elsevier eBooks” Skin and hair renewal is maintained by both fast and slow cycling stem cells, with hair regrowth primarily driven by specific stem cells in the hair follicle bulge. These cells can also help heal wounds and potentially treat hair loss.
