The Claim
In postnatal mice, hyperinnervation of wound sites is associated with the inhibition of organ-level regeneration; experimental reduction of nerve density through sensory neuron ablation or inhibition of synaptic release via botulinum toxin enables regenerative capacity, including the formation of hair follicles, adipocytes, and other tissue lineages.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
When baby mice get injured, too many nerves in the wound can stop the skin from fully healing and regrowing hair and fat. But if scientists reduce those nerves or block their signals, the skin can actually regenerate like new.

What the research says
1 studyStudy: Hyperinnervation inhibits organ-level regeneration in mammalian skin.
The study shows that when nerves in healing skin are reduced, the skin can regrow hair and fat that normally don’t come back after injury. This supports the idea that too many nerves block healing.
