January 2016 in “Elsevier eBooks” The document concludes that identifying the specific cells where skin cancers begin is important for creating better prevention, detection, and treatment methods.
April 2024 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” GRK2 is essential for healthy hair follicle function, and its absence can lead to hair loss and cysts.
27 citations,
August 2014 in “Wiley interdisciplinary reviews. Developmental biology” The skin and thymus develop similarly to protect and support immunity.
10 citations,
June 2016 in “Cell Transplantation” Sebaceous glands can help harvest hair follicle stem cells to regenerate skin and hair.

November 2016 in “Cell death and disease” Skin-derived stem cells can become various cell types, including germ cell-like and oocyte-like cells.
28 citations,
April 1996 in “Cell biology international” Changes in keratin affect skin health and can lead to skin disorders like blistering diseases and psoriasis.
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.
179 citations,
July 2016 in “Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology” Epigenetic changes control how adult stem cells work and can lead to diseases like cancer if they go wrong.
36 citations,
September 2009 in “Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine” New treatments targeting skin stem cells show promise for skin repair, anti-aging, and cancer therapy.
January 2018 in “Stem cell biology and regenerative medicine” ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling is crucial for skin development and stem cell function.
205 citations,
August 2007 in “Experimental Cell Research” Stem cell niches are crucial for regulating stem cell renewal and differentiation, and understanding them can help in developing regenerative therapies.
5 citations,
July 2022 in “Orphanet journal of rare diseases” RSPO1 mutations in certain patients lead to skin cells that don't develop properly and are more likely to become invasive, increasing the risk of skin cancer.
August 2023 in “Scientific reports” Human stem cells were turned into cells similar to those that help grow hair and showed potential for hair follicle formation.
14 citations,
February 2014 in “Experimental Cell Research” The conclusion is that teeth, hair, and claws have similar stem cell niches, which are important for growth and repair, and more research is needed on their regulation and potential markers.
13 citations,
May 2022 in “Cell discovery” The study found new details about human hair growth and suggests that preventing a specific biological pathway could potentially treat hair graying.
Ovol2 is crucial for hair growth and skin healing by controlling cell movement and growth.
19 citations,
August 2012 in “Cell death and differentiation” Intu gene is crucial for hair follicle formation by helping keratinocytes differentiate through primary cilia.
7 citations,
March 2020 in “PloS one” α-parvin is necessary for skin and hair growth and for the correct orientation of skin cells.
1 citations,
July 2020 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” Removing centrosomes from skin cells leads to thinner skin and stops hair growth, but does not greatly affect skin cell differentiation.
3 citations,

85 citations,
September 2013 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” Keratin 15 is not a reliable sole marker for identifying epidermal stem cells because it's found in various cell types.
70 citations,
November 1984 in “Cell & tissue research/Cell and tissue research” Vitamin D3 affects cell differentiation in specific skin areas.
47 citations,
June 1996 in “International Journal of Legal Medicine” Hair analysis for drugs needs a better understanding of how drugs enter hair, considering factors like hair structure and pigmentation.
