This study reported successful repigmentation without scarring in patients with localized and segmental vitiligo after epidermal grafting, but the Koebner phenomenon hindered similar results in some with generalized vitiligo.

This study found that noncultured epidermal cell transplantation is promising for treating stable vitiligo, achieving significant repigmentation and patient satisfaction based on objective and subjective evaluations.

This study found that post-hematopoietic cell transplantation epidermal grafting significantly reduced chronic wound size in patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.

This study demonstrated that implanting μm-scale full-thickness columns of human skin tissue into immunodeficient mice restored key features of normal human skin, suggesting potential for human wound repair with minimal donor site morbidity.

This study found that island grafting in guinea pigs enabled the isolated study of early skin regeneration processes, distinguishing them from natural wound closure mechanisms like epithelialization and contraction.

This study found that incorporating human adipose subcutaneous tissue in 3D organotypic skin cultures mimicking hypertrophic scar conditions improved epidermal homeostasis, formed a basement membrane similar to native skin, and reduced myofibroblast presence, indicating an anti-fibrotic effect.

In this study, researchers used a 3D printing technique to spatially pattern human dermal papilla cell spheroids in a collagen matrix, enhancing skin and hair regeneration in a mouse model, with notable upregulation of key genes for hair follicle formation compared to traditional cell cultures.

This study describes a method for isolating stem cells and keratinocytes from mouse hair follicles using FACS technology, facilitating the study of stem cell biology.

This study observed that human hair follicles were able to regenerate fiber-forming structures after the bulb was amputated and transplanted onto athymic mice, suggesting a general regenerative capacity.

This study found that hair follicle micro-graft transplantation significantly improved scar remodeling outcomes in 40 patients, with greater reductions in scar volume, lower scar scores, and enhanced skin characteristics compared to punch excision alone, potentially due to activation of the PI3K-AKT pathway.

A new surgical technique using vellus hair grafts effectively treated vitiligo without causing unwanted hair growth.

This review discusses current and experimental treatments for cutaneous wounds, emphasizing cell-based therapies and skin transplantation, but reports no new clinical results.

This review presents clinical and preclinical evidence supporting innovative regenerative approaches to treat vitiligo, as existing treatments lack a specific cure and predictable long-term repigmentation outcomes.

This review discusses segmental vitiligo as part of the vitiligo clinical spectrum and highlights its role as a model for studying repigmentation, but reports no new clinical results.

This chapter reviews surgical management techniques for leukotrichia in vitiligo and presents no new clinical findings; it highlights various grafting and epilation methods.

New skin substitutes for treating severe burns and chronic wounds are being developed, but a permanent solution for deep wounds is not yet available commercially.

In this study, autologous fat injection was found to be more effective than platelet rich plasma in improving post-burn facial scars, as measured by decreased Vancouver scores and increased epidermal thickness among 60 patients.

This study established a model using nude mice to successfully graft human scalp skin, maintaining hair follicle growth and skin integrity for at least two months, which may aid preclinical research.

This article outlines the comprehensive content of the Dermatologic Surgery journal, which covers a wide range of topics related to cosmetic and reconstructive skin surgery, including skin cancer, but presents no new clinical results.

This pilot study employed in-vivo multiphoton microscopy to visualize pigment-producing melanocytes in vitiligo patients, aiming to enhance understanding of treatment impacts and potentially improve transplantation therapies.

This article discusses various surgical options for treating leukotrichia in vitiligo patients and reports that hair transplantation shows more promising results, particularly for eyebrows and eyelashes, compared to previous methods.

This article discusses a new global consensus on the classification of vitiligo, describing histopathological findings and outlining treatment strategies, but reports no new clinical results.

This review evaluates the clinical use of composite dermal-epidermal skin substitutes, with a focus on advancements such as the "BioMask" for facial skin trauma, highlighting the potential of 3D bioprinting and bioengineered skin in improving wound treatment and reconstruction.

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.

This study found that a novel hydrogel scaffold, cGEL, significantly increased melanin production and melanotic gene expression in human melanocytes compared to other graft materials, suggesting its potential as a superior carrier for skin grafting.

The abstract reports that non-cultured cellular grafting has become a prevalent and cost-effective method for treating stable vitiligo, with safety and effectiveness confirmed by two decades of studies. It critiques strict legislative oversight, suggesting it might unnecessarily increase costs and limit patient access.

In this study, co-grafting human keratinocytes with murine dermal papilla-enriched cells produced hair follicle-like structures, but without regular hair formation, suggesting anomalous folliculogenesis.

This study found that engineered skin substitutes made with skin-derived precursors and epidermal stem cells can regenerate hair follicles after grafting into nude mice.

This study found that the peptide TSN6 increased epidermal thickness and promoted hair follicle formation in dermal–epidermal composites grafted onto nude mice, with TSN6-treated composites showing more hair follicles and retained grafts compared to control groups.

This study reported that the absence of Lsh in skin led to significant epidermal hyperplasia and altered gene expression, suggesting its crucial role in regulating epidermal proliferation, differentiation, and wound healing.
