research Mechanical Stretch Upregulates SDF-1α in Skin Tissue and Induces Migration of Circulating Bone Marrow-Derived Stem Cells into the Expanded Skin
Stretching skin increases a certain protein that attracts stem cells, helping skin regeneration.
research Tissue Expansion in Cicatricial Alopecia
This article discusses tissue-expansion augmented scalp reduction as a surgical option for cicatricial alopecia patients who are otherwise not candidates for traditional hair replacement techniques, but it reports no new clinical results.
research The Expanded “Flying-Wings” Scalp Flap for Aesthetic Hemiscalp Alopecia Reconstruction in Children
This study found that the "flying-wings" expanded scalp flap technique effectively restored hemiscalp defects in children following burns, achieving pleasing aesthetic results and proper hair growth direction with minimal complications.
research Clinical Experience With Tissue Expansion
Tissue expansion is a useful method for reconstructive surgery with good results and room for further enhancement.

This review discusses recent advances in surface modification and endothelialization of biomaterials for vascular grafts, highlighting promising methods like gene engineering and targeting ligand immobilization to improve clinical outcomes.
research A preliminary study of differentially expressed genes in expanded skin and normal skin: implications for adult skin regeneration
This study identified 77 genes with significant expression changes in expanded human skin, suggesting possible mechanisms for skin regeneration during tissue expansion, including previously unreported genes like HOXA5, HOXB2, and AP1.
research Fat grafts enriched with ex‐vivo expanded adipose stem cells improve hyperpigmentation of face
In this study, ASC-enriched autologous fat grafting was found to be more effective and satisfying than conventional fat grafting for treating facial contour deformities with hyperpigmentation.
research Hair follicle stem cells promote epidermal regeneration under expanded condition
This study examines the role of hair follicle stem cells in epidermal regeneration during skin soft tissue expansion, proposing a potential method for their cellular and molecular regulation.
research The surgical treatment of cicatricial alopecia
This article proposes two new categories of cicatricial alopecia—“unstable” and “stable”—and suggests surgical excision as preferred over hair transplantation, especially for unstable cases.
