January 2019 in “Springer eBooks” Transplanting skin cells is a safe, effective, and affordable treatment for vitiligo.
April 2018 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” Aging causes changes in scalp cells that can negatively affect hair health.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The conclusion is that the cornea has two types of stem cells, with Lrig1+ cells being key for renewal in aging corneas, independent of CD44.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” A new treatment using AGED to modulate PPAR-γ shows promise for treating scarring hair loss by protecting and repairing hair follicle cells.

November 2015 in “European Journal of Inflammation” Cicatricial alopecia, a permanent hair loss condition, is mainly caused by damage to specific hair follicle stem cells and abnormal immune responses, with gene regulator PPAR-y and lipid metabolism disorders playing significant roles.
September 2013 in “Experimental Dermatology” The document concluded that stem cells are crucial for skin repair, regeneration, and may help in developing advanced skin substitutes.
June 2013 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” FGF9 from certain cells can trigger new hair growth during wound healing, but humans have fewer of these cells, which may limit hair regrowth.
May 2009 in “The American Journal of Dermatopathology” Mast cells play a significant role in hair loss conditions like male pattern hair loss and alopecia areata.
February 2008 in “Medical & surgical dermatology” Some treatments like topical oxygen and stem cells show promise for wound healing and hair growth, but evidence for modern dressings over traditional ones is limited.
December 2020 in “Galen Medical Journal” Alopecia patients have more mast cells in their scalps, especially in severe cases and older age, with alopecia areata showing the highest increase.
December 2016 in “Paleontological Journal” Hair growth can be induced by transplanting certain cells, but these cells lose their properties during culturing. The best cell interaction happens in a liquid medium under gravity, and using collagen doesn't help. Future research could focus on using growth factors to stimulate these cells.
