BACKGROUND: In plastic surgery, tissue expansion is widely used for repairing skin defects. However, low expansion efficiency and skin rupture caused by thin, expanded skin remain significant challenges in promoting skin regeneration during expansion. S100 calcium-binding protein A9 (S100A9) is essential in promoting wound healing; however, its effects on skin regeneration during tissue expansion remain unclear. The aim of the present study was to explore the role of S100A9 in skin regeneration, particularly collagen production to investigate its importance in skin regeneration during tissue expansion...
