Insights into the regeneration of skin from Acomys, the spiny mouse

Abstract

Members of the Acomys genus, known as spiny mice, are unique among mammals in being perfectly capable of regenerating large areas of skin that have been removed. During this regenerative process hairs, sebaceous glands, erector pili muscles, adipocytes and the panniculus carnosus all regenerate and the dermis does not scar. We review here the processes that the epidermis and the individual components of the dermis undergo in the regeneration process of the spiny mouse, the molecules that have been identified as potentially being important in regeneration and relate this to what has been proposed as playing a role in studies from the lab mouse, Mus musculus. Differences in the immune systems of spiny mice and lab mice are also highlighted as this is suggested to play a part not only in the perfect wound healing that embryos display but also in regeneration in lower vertebrates.
