November 2018 in “Nature Cell Biology” Stem cells help heal skin wounds by moving and changing roles, working with other cells, and needing more research on their activation and behavior.
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.
124 citations,
February 2018 in “Nature Reviews Genetics” Stem cell plasticity is crucial for wound healing but can also contribute to cancer development.
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.
139 citations,
August 2018 in “Development” The niche environment controls stem cell behavior and plasticity, which is important for tissue health and repair.
1 citations,
March 2024 in “Science” Vitamin A helps skin stem cells decide their function, aiding in hair growth and wound repair.
321 citations,
March 2015 in “Nature” Super-enhancers controlled by pioneer factors like SOX9 are crucial for stem cell adaptability and identity.
61 citations,
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.
403 citations,
December 2018 in “Cell stem cell” Understanding phenotypic plasticity is crucial for developing effective cancer therapies.
211 citations,
May 2018 in “Trends in cell biology” Different types of skin cells play specific roles in development, healing, and cancer.

Sensory neuron and Merkel-cell changes in the skin happen independently during normal skin maintenance.
Sensory neuron and Merkel cell changes in the skin happen independently during normal skin maintenance.
66 citations,
March 2019 in “Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences” Melanocyte development from neural crest cells is complex and influenced by many factors, and better understanding could help treat skin disorders.
Sensory neuron remodeling and Merkel-cell changes in the skin happen independently.
10 citations,
December 2017 in “Chemosphere” Bisphenol-A (BPA) increases connections between brain cells and boosts their activity, but it blocks the effects of a male hormone on brain cell plasticity.
479 citations,
June 2014 in “Science” Epithelial stem cells can adapt and help in tissue repair and regeneration.
82 citations,
March 2016 in “Cell” The conclusion is that tissue structure is key for stem cell communication and maintaining healthy tissues.
3 citations,
April 2019 in “Stem cells international” Markers CRABP1, Nestin, and Ephrin B2 are present in skin cancer environments and may influence their development.
1 citations,
January 2018 in “Elsevier eBooks” The skin's dermal layer contains true stem cells with diverse functions and interactions that need more research to fully understand.
