December 2017 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study found that fibroblast behavior switching between proliferation and ECM deposition is vital for dermal architecture, where cell migration is primarily important for tissue repair during wound healing.
March 2024 in “JEADV. Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology/Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology” Hair transplant surgery using micropunch can cause blood vessel damage similar to vasculitis in some cases.
