Objective To review the research progress of hair follicle stem cell(FSC) in wound healing and correlative signals. Methods The advances in the FSC location, characters, relations with wound repair and correlative singals were introduced based on the recent related literature. Results FSC played an important role in hair follicle cycle and wound healing. The correlative signals maybe Wnt, bone morphogenetic protein/transforming growth factor β, Norch, Shh and fibroblast growth factor. Conclusion The multipotency and plasticity of FSC offer a new way in regeneration medicine and the signals in cell proliferation and differentiation will be the new focus in future research.
