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.
42 citations,

38 citations,
June 2019 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” Tiny particles called extracellular vesicles could help with skin healing and hair growth, but more research is needed.
29 citations,
May 2020 in “npj Regenerative Medicine” Immune cells help regulate hair growth, and better understanding this can improve hair loss treatments.
