Similar Assertions

In mice with skin wounds, a substance called G-CSF seems to switch immune cells in the wound to a healing mode, which helps reduce scarring and speeds up tissue repair.

In mice, turning off a gene called CXCR2 leads to much higher levels of a protein called G-CSF in the blood, and that protein seems to be the reason these mice can regenerate hair follicles better — if you remove G-CSF, the healing effect goes away.
