Abstract

Large skin wounds in adult mice can heal by regenerating new hair follicles and adipocytes in their center. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Abbasi et al. (2020) report how typically scar-forming wound fibroblasts enter a transcriptionally distinct single-cell state of competence during regeneration of new hair follicle mesenchyme.
