Objective To summarize the dynamic and synchronized changes between the hair cycle and dermal adipose tissue as well as the impact of dermal adipose tissue on hair growth, and to provide a new research idea for the clinical treatment of hair loss. MethodsAn extensive review of relevant literature both domestic and international was conducted, analyzing and summarizing the impact of dermal adipose precursor cells, mature dermal adipocytes, and the processes of adipogenesis in dermal adipose tissue on the transition of hair cycle phases. ResultsDermal adipose tissue is anatomically adjacent to hair follicles and closely related to the changes in the hair cycle. The proliferation and differentiation of dermal adipose precursor cells promote the transition of hair cycle from telogen to anagen, while mature adipocytes can accelerate the transition from anagen to catagen of the hair cycle by expressing signaling molecules, with adipogenesis in dermal adipose tissue and hair cycle transition signaling coexistence. ConclusionDermal adipose tissue affects the transition of the hair cycle and regulates hair growth by secreting various signaling molecules. However, the quantity and depth of existing literature are far from sufficient to fully elucidate its prominent role in regulating the hair cycle, and the specific regulatory mechanisms needs to be further studied.
ObjectiveTo summarize recent progress in adipose tissue acting as a more efficient and ideal therapy to facilitate wound repair and evaluate the therapeutic values of adipose tissue.MethodsThe related literature about adipose tissue for wound healing in recent years was reviewed and analyzed.ResultsEnormous studies focus on the capacity of adipose tissue to accelerate wound healing including cellular components, extracellular matrix, and paracrine signaling have been investigated.ConclusionAdipose tissue has generated great interest in recent years because of unique advantages such as abundant and accessible source, thriven potential to enhance the regeneration and repair of damaged tissue. However, there is still a need to explore the mechanism that adipose tissue regulates cellular function and tissue regeneration in order to facilitate clinical application of adipose tissue in wound healing.
