Commentary on the practical guide for the study of sebaceous glands.

abstract：:Hypertrophic scarring is a skin disorder characterized by persistent inflammation and fibrosis that may occur after wounding or thermal injury. Altered production of cytokines and growth factors, such as TGF-beta, play an important role in this process. Activin A, a member of the TGF-beta family, shares the same intra...
