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.

301 citations,
February 2019 in “Nature Communications” The research found that different types of fibroblasts are involved in wound healing and that some blood cells can turn into fat cells during this process.
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.

December 2016 in “The EMBO Journal” The study showed that hair follicle stem cells can maintain and organize themselves in a lab setting, keeping their ability to renew and form hair and skin.
56 citations,
May 2017 in “Nature Cell Biology” Hair can regrow after certain stem cells are lost because other stem cells can take over their role.
35 citations,
November 2020 in “Experimental Dermatology” Different types of skin cells are organized in a special way in large wounds to help with healing and hair growth.

7 citations,
January 2023 in “Frontiers in cell and developmental biology” Celsr1 is crucial for skin cell alignment, while Celsr2 has little effect on this process.
5 citations,
January 2005 in “Cytotherapy” The meeting highlighted important advances in stem cell research and its potential for creating new medical treatments.
44 citations,
September 2019 in “The EMBO Journal” Lymphatic vessels are essential for hair follicle growth and skin regeneration.
