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.
5 citations,

4 citations,
January 2013 in “Humana Press eBooks” Scientists found ways to identify and collect skin stem cells, which vary by skin area and are delicate.
2 citations,
May 2023 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” Stem cells help remove dead cells to keep tissues healthy by balancing cell replacement and clearance.
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.
44 citations,
