October 2013 in “Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery” Human alpha defensin 5 helps heal wounds, reduce bacteria, and grow hair on burned skin.
24 citations,
April 2012 in “Developmental Biology” Dermal papillae cells, important for hair growth, come from multiple cell lines and can be formed by skin cells, regardless of their origin or hair cycle phase. These cells rarely divide, but their ability to shape tissue may contribute to their efficiency in inducing hair growth.
15 citations,
January 1995 in “Archives of dermatological research” OCT binds strongly to hair sheath cells and may affect skin and hair growth with fewer side effects than vitamin D3.
9 citations,
July 2001 in “Cell” Cells from certain embryo parts can induce head formation in another embryo, involving complex signaling pathways.
480 citations,
August 2014 in “Nature Biotechnology” Changing the environment around stem cells could help tissue repair, but it's hard to be precise and avoid side effects.
211 citations,
April 2013 in “Development” More dermal papilla cells in hair follicles lead to larger, healthier hair, while fewer cells cause hair thinning and loss.
136 citations,
May 2019 in “Cells” Stem cell therapy, particularly using certain types of cells, shows promise for treating hair loss by stimulating hair growth and development, but more extensive trials are needed to confirm these findings.
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.
89 citations,
January 2009 in “Advances in Clinical Chemistry” Fetal skin heals without scarring due to unique cells and processes not present in adult skin healing.
86 citations,
May 2002 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” A new keratin, hK6irs1, is found in all layers of the hair follicle's inner root sheath.
68 citations,
September 2018 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” Air pollution (PM10) increases skin inflammation and aging by reducing collagen and may trigger a repair response in skin cells.
31 citations,
February 2014 in “Inflammation Research” Lower CD200R1 on certain immune cells is linked to more severe rheumatoid arthritis and immune imbalance.
24 citations,
January 2019 in “Biomaterials Science” The shape of fibrous scaffolds can improve how stem cells help heal skin.
17 citations,
January 2013 in “Journal of Cosmetics, Dermatological Sciences and Applications” 3D bioprinting could improve skin repair and treat conditions like vitiligo and alopecia by precisely placing cells.
14 citations,
January 2020 in “Frontiers in Endocrinology” OCT4 helps granulosa cell growth in early-stage follicles, and FSH increases OCT4 through specific pathways.
11 citations,
May 2016 in “Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Archives of Pharmacology” A substance called 15-deoxy prostaglandin J2 can cause hair follicle cells to die, which might explain how prostaglandin D2 can lead to hair loss.
9 citations,
October 2008 in “Mutation research” N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) can prevent DNA damage and protect cells from harm.
8 citations,
May 2021 in “Bioengineering & translational medicine” Hair growth environment recreated with challenges; stem cells make successful skin organoids.
8 citations,
November 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” AGA linked to inflammation, stress, fibrosis, and disturbed hair follicle stem cells.

3 citations,
December 2020 in “Scientific reports” Mitochondrial problems in tooth cells lead to bad enamel and dentin development in mice.
2 citations,
November 2003 in “Humana Press eBooks” Hair follicle cells can help heal wounds and study skin diseases.
