👄 Mouths Heal Better: What Your Skin Can Learn from Oral Wounds

Exciting new insights from Science Translational Medicine (2025)!   Researchers uncovered how the GAS6–AXL–FAK axis determines whether wounds heal with scars or regeneration. 🧬💉   💡 Activating AXL with GAS6 rewires fibrotic healing into scarless repair — especially in the oral mucosa. 💥 Blocking AXL flips the script, leading to fibrosis even in normally regenerative tissues.   This could revolutionize how we approach scar prevention and tissue regeneration. 🩹✨   #RegenerativeMedicine #WoundHealing #Fibrosis #AXL #FAK #PrecisionMedicine #GAS6 #scRNAseq #Biotech #Innovation #TranslationalScience
