October 2022 in “Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology” The study demonstrates that transplanted hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells (HFMSCs) can effectively treat small intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in rats. HFMSCs home to the damaged site, proliferate, and differentiate into intestinal stem cells, promoting tissue repair and regeneration. They enhance angiogenesis, reduce apoptosis, and mitigate oxidative stress, thereby improving intestinal morphology and function. The findings suggest HFMSCs as a promising therapeutic approach for intestinal IR injury through intrinsic and paracrine mechanisms.

June 2022 in “Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology” The gel with icariin speeds up wound healing, reduces scarring, and helps hair growth by controlling BMP4 signaling. It also reduces inflammation and improves wound quality in mice, adapts to different wound shapes, and gradually releases icariin to aid healing. It also prevents too much collagen and myofibroblast formation during skin healing.
