by the regenerating hair
follicle to convert the surrounding myofibroblasts to regenerate as fat instead of forming a scar.

by blocking the action of

By analyzing mice with the WNT10A mutation, as well as tissues from human patients with WNT10A mutations, we found that WNT10A regulates the proliferation, but not the maintenance, of stem cells in hair
follicles,» said Sarah Millar, PhD, vice chair for Basic Research in the Department of Dermatology.
First, imaging experiments revealed that Tregs have a close relationship with the stem cells that reside within hair
follicles and allow them to regenerate: the number of active Tregs clustering around
follicle stem cells typically swells
by three-fold as
follicles enter the growth phase of their regular cycle of rest and regeneration.
Schöler and his team then found further proofs that the eggs were functional: the presence of estradiol, a chemical produced only in the

The study raises the possibility that drugs known as JAK inhibitors could be used to restore hair growth in multiple forms of hair loss such as that induced
