June 2022 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” A specific molecular switch, driven by MAPK/ERK signaling, helps spiny mice heal wounds by regenerating skin instead of forming scars.
February 2019 in “Chin J Injury Repair and Wound Healing(Electronic Edition)” The study investigated the effects of porcine acellular dermal matrix (ADM) on hair follicle regeneration in 18 C57BL/6 mice with full-thickness skin defects. Results showed that ADM significantly increased the expression of β-catenin, Wnt3a, and SDF-1 compared to gauze, as confirmed by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. The study concluded that ADM promoted hair follicle regeneration by up-regulating SDF-1 and the Wnt3a/β-catenin signaling pathway, suggesting its potential as a scaffold for hair growth and treating hair loss conditions.
