January 2021 in “Cell transplantation” Scientists found the best time to transplant human stem cells for hair growth is between days 16-18 when they have the right markers and growth potential.
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.
6 citations,
April 2010 in “Cellular Reprogramming” Pig skin cells can turn into mesodermal cells but lose their ability to become neural cells.
10 citations,
February 2022 in “Journal of cosmetic dermatology” Exosomes from fat-derived stem cells may help regrow hair.
