9 citations,
May 2002 in “PubMed” Retinoic acid affects skin and hair health by working with specific receptors, and its absence can lead to hair loss and skin changes.
25 citations,
December 1992 in “Seminars in cell biology” Skin stem cells are maintained by signals from nearby cells and vary in their ability to renew and mature.

September 2014 in “PloS one” The study found that analyzing certain cell signaling pathways is not a reliable method to tell apart two types of skin tumors.
129 citations,
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.
