April 2018 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” In this study, IL-1α and IL-7 were found to work together to activate epidermal γδ T-cells, which in turn promote hair follicle stem cell proliferation during mouse wound healing.
This study found that IL-1α and IL-7 secreted from keratinocytes in a genetically engineered mouse model can stimulate the expansion of γδT-cells, aiding in the proliferation of epidermal stem cells for wound healing.
This study found that interleukin-1α and interleukin-7 secreted by keratinocytes enhance the proliferation of γδT-cells and epidermal stem cells, revealing mechanisms of stem cell activation during wound healing in mice.
In this animal study, treatment with Trachyspermum copticum seed extract significantly altered IL-1 and KGF/FGF-7 gene expression, improving dermatitis and hair growth in mice compared to controls and corticosteroids.
