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.
82 citations,
March 2016 in “Cell” The conclusion is that tissue structure is key for stem cell communication and maintaining healthy tissues.
71 citations,
January 2015 in “Journal of molecular cell biology/Journal of Molecular Cell Biology” mTOR signaling helps activate hair stem cells by balancing out the suppression caused by BMP during hair growth.
63 citations,
April 2010 in “Development” Compartmentalized organization might be crucial for stem cells to effectively respond to growth or injury.
29 citations,
March 2012 in “Stem Cell Research & Therapy” Some stem cells in the body rarely divide, which could help create better treatments for diseases and aging.
24 citations,
November 2016 in “Cell death and disease” Skin-derived stem cells can become various cell types, including germ cell-like and oocyte-like cells.

254 citations,
January 2012 in “Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology” Stem cell offspring help control their parent stem cells, affecting tissue health, healing, and cancer.
163 citations,
March 2012 in “BMC biology” Stem cell niches support, regulate, and coordinate stem cell functions.
137 citations,
April 2015 in “Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology” Different types of stem cells with unique roles exist in blood, skin, and intestines, and this variety is important for tissue repair.
124 citations,
February 2018 in “Nature Reviews Genetics” Stem cell plasticity is crucial for wound healing but can also contribute to cancer development.
66 citations,
July 2015 in “Journal of Molecular Biology” The document concludes that for hair and feather growth, it's better to target the environment around stem cells than the cells themselves.
25 citations,
June 2021 in “Developmental Cell” Dying cells can help with faster healing and new hair growth by releasing a growth-promoting molecule.
17 citations,
June 2017 in “British Journal of Dermatology” The article concludes that hair loss is a common side effect of drugs treating skin cancer by blocking the hedgehog pathway, but treatment should continue, and more selective drugs might prevent this side effect.
