May 2015 in “Cell Stem Cell” Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.

18 citations,
November 2020 in “Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology” Inflammation plays a key role in activating skin stem cells for hair growth and wound healing, but more research is needed to understand how it directs cell behavior.
2 citations,
May 2023 in “Frontiers in immunology” Skin stem cells remember past inflammation, helping them respond better to future injuries and possibly aiding in treating skin issues.
2 citations,
