Access through your institution Buy or subscribe Deep skin injuries in adult humans lead to fibrotic scarring that compromises tissue function, whereas human fetal skin undergoes scarless
healing. Understanding the mechanisms of skin regeneration should lead to more effective treatments for skin wounds. Sinha et al. report a single-cell analysis of reindeer antler velvet, as
a model of regenerative healing, showing that fibroblast–immune cell interactions are key determinants of wound healing outcome. Full-thickness excisional skin wounds were created in the
back skin and antler velvet of adult reindeer. At 30 days post wounding (30 dpw), back skin wounds had generated hypertrophic scars whereas antler skin wounds lacked scarring and had new
hair follicles and restoration of the extracellular matrix architecture. When full-thickness velvet was ectopically transplanted to the back skin of the same animal, it retained regenerative
competence indicating that this is an intrinsic feature of velvet tissue. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your
