How is the dermis involved in the regeneration process?
The dermis supports skin regeneration through its rich vascular network and extracellular matrix components. Fibroblasts within the dermis produce collagen and elastin, critical for maintaining skin elasticity and strength. During wound healing, fibroblasts migrate to the injury site, synthesizing new matrix components, and promoting tissue repair. Additionally, the dermal vasculature supplies necessary nutrients and oxygen to regenerating tissues.
