Transplantation of the LGR6+ epithelial stem cell into full-thickness cutaneous wounds results in enhanced healing, nascent hair follicle development, and augmentation of angiogenic analytes.

Background:The recently discovered leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein coupled receptor 6 (LGR6+) epithelial stem cell located within the follicular bulge of the adnexal compartment is capable of producing all cellular lineages of the skin. In this study, the authors sought to determine whether
