Facial Skin Regenerates with Less Scarring, and the Underlying Mechanism Could Be Applied Elsewhere in the Body

Facial Skin Regenerates with Less Scarring, and the Underlying Mechanism Could Be Applied Elsewhere in the Body

Relative to skin elsewhere on the body, facial skin is less prone to scarring following regeneration from injury. Researchers have identified how this difference is regulated, and here demonstrate that they can influence the relevant mechanisms in order to reduce scarring during regeneration of skin injuries elsewhere on the body. It is also possible that further investigation of this biochemistry may yield approaches to reduce scarring more gen…
