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.
38 citations,

23 citations,
May 2016 in “American Journal of Pathology” The research suggests that a specific skin gene can be controlled by signals within and between cells and is wrongly activated in certain skin diseases.
8 citations,
January 2022 in “Burns and trauma” Skin cell-derived vesicles can help heal skin injuries effectively.
8 citations,
April 2020 in “Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics of North America” Minoxidil, finasteride, and low-level laser light therapy are effective FDA-approved treatments for hair loss.
7 citations,
