Noncoding dsRNA induces retinoic acid synthesis to stimulate hair follicle regeneration via TLR3

During wound induced hair follicle neogenesis (WIHN), stem cells regenerate hair follicles but how this arises is unclear. Here, the authors show that self-noncoding dsRNA activates the antiviral receptor TLR3 to induce intrinsic retinoic acid, which stimulates WIHN in mice, and in isolated human ke...
