Hedgehog stimulates hair follicle neogenesis by creating inductive dermis during murine skin wound healing

On wounding, scar formation in mammals arises causing no hair follicle regeneration, but it is unclear if scarring precludes regeneration. Here, the authors show that if Sonic hedgehog signaling is activated in the wound, an inductive dermal niche forms, enabling regeneration and hair follicle forma...
