Abstract

Wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis (WIHN) is a regenerative phenomenon that occurs widely in the skin of adult mammalians. A fully functional follicle can regenerate in the center of a full-thickness wound with a large enough size. The cellular origin of this process is similar to embryonic process. Many growth and development-related pathways are involved in WIHN. Studying WIHN can deeply explore the mechanism of biological growth, development and regeneration, and can identify new treatments for hair-related disorders. Our review aims to enlighten future study by summarizing the clinical manifestation of WIHN, as well as the cellular and molecular mechanism of WIHN in recent studies.
