Harvard researchers uncovered that post‑natal skin scarring is driven by fibroblast‑produced Cxcl12, which triggers excessive nerve growth that blocks full tissue regeneration. By deleting Cxcl12 or applying Botox to suppress local nerve signaling, mice healed wounds without scars, restoring all skin cell types. The work demonstrates that a simple molecular brake, rather than a complex set of factors, governs the switch from embryonic scar‑free healing to adult scarring. These preclinical results point toward potential therapies that could enable scar‑free wound repair in humans.
