Induced sweat gland regeneration through chemical reprogramming (IMAGE)
Caption
Employing a chemical reprogramming strategy to convert human epidermal keratinocytes into expandable sweat gland cells using six specific chemicals. Upon transplantation into damaged skin tissues in a mouse model, these chemically reprogrammed sweat gland cells accelerate wound healing, significantly improve healing quality, and effectively regenerated functional tissues resembling natural sweat glands, complete with extensive connections to nerves and new blood vessels.
