This study discusses the safety, complications, and limitations of melanocyte transplantation for treating vitiligo, noting that these techniques are generally safe and often combined with medical treatments for repigmenting stable vitiligo macules.

In this study, stable types of leucoderma such as segmental vitiligo and piebaldism showed 100% repigmentation after melanocyte transplantation, suggesting surgery as the preferred method for these conditions.

This review discusses various surgical techniques for vitiligo repigmentation, noting that suction blister and split-thickness skin grafting have the highest success rates according to previous analysis, but reports no new results.

This systematic review identified that surgical treatments show a positive response for eyebrow and eyelash leukotrichia, while topical tofacitinib appears promising but requires further research to confirm its efficacy.

This review summarizes the historical and evolving treatments for vitiligo, highlighting that combining medical and surgical approaches may enhance repigmentation outcomes, though more research and new protocols are needed.

This chapter reviews classification and techniques of surgical therapies for treating stable, recalcitrant vitiligo, highlighting their role alongside non-surgical methods for small, specific cases.

Regenerative medicine is effective and safe for treating vitiligo.

This study suggests that plucked human hairs can be used to culture hair follicle cells in vitro, offering a potential, cost-effective alternative to traditional hair transplantation for treating male baldness.

This study found that non-vitiliginous melanocyte stem cells from vitiligo patients were unaffected by the disease and could effectively differentiate into melanin-producing melanocytes, suggesting their potential for use in cellular therapy for vitiligo repigmentation.

In this study, collagen I decellularized scaffolds enhanced the growth and melanotic properties of hair follicle melanocytes, suggesting their potential as effective carriers for transplantation in vitiligo treatment.

This study demonstrates that a novel autologous hair follicle-derived epithelial sheet can effectively repigment skin in patients with stable vitiligo, offering a potential new treatment option.

This study provided an overview of skin organoids created from pluripotent stem cells, showcasing their potential in dermatologic research and future clinical applications, while noting challenges such as lengthy differentiation protocols that result in heterogeneous products.

They highlighted recent advancements and emphasized the need for future studies to explore therapeutic mechanisms and identify biomarkers to enhance surgical efficacy.

This review discusses transplantation of melanocyte stem cells for vitiligo treatment and reports no new clinical results; it suggests the procedure could be effective in reactivating melanocyte precursors for repigmentation.

This study found that co-culturing adipose-derived stem cells with hair follicle-derived melanocytes, combined with narrowband UVB, significantly improved pigmentary response in treating stable, resistant vitiligo compared to non-UVB treatments.

This study suggests that cultured human hair follicle cells can potentially recreate epidermis and produce bioengineered hair follicles in a GMP cell factory for regenerative therapy in alopecia.

This study found that dermal papilla and peribulbar dermal sheath cup cells in mice can both induce hair follicle formation, suggesting they may have similar functional roles in hair growth.

This study reports that hair follicle neural crest stem cells in mice can be differentiated into melanocytes, potentially aiding repigmentation in vitiligo-affected areas.

This article describes protocols for isolating and expanding human epidermal neural crest stem cells and discusses their potential for cell-based therapies in regenerative medicine, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that direct interactions between human dermal papilla cells and melanocytes under low oxygen conditions improved cell functions and could be important for hair regeneration efforts.

This study found that grafting an autologous cultured epithelial sheet improved both scarring and skin texture in four patients with acne-associated scar contracture three months post-treatment, suggesting the technique might effectively treat difficult acne scars by metabolizing excess collagen.
