Research Uncovers New Mechanism that Promotes Wound Healing in Skin

Posted on by skin_challenges
A University of California, Irvine-led study identifies a new molecular pathway that promotes the healing of wounds in the skin. Titled, “GRHL3 activates FSCN1 to relax cell-cell adhesions between migrating keratinocytes during wound re-epithelialization,” the study was published in JCI Insight. The molecular pathway identified is controlled by an evolutionary conserved gene called a Grainyhead…
