45 citations,
August 2018 in “Stem Cells International” Stem cells, especially from fat tissue and Wharton's jelly, can potentially regenerate hair follicles and treat hair loss, but more research is needed to perfect the treatment.
41 citations,
March 1998 in “Archives of Dermatological Research” The enzyme that changes testosterone to a stronger form is mostly found in the part of the hair follicle called the dermal papilla.
8 citations,
August 2007 in “Histopathology” Different growth patterns in thyroid tumors are influenced by where cell growth and death occur.
1 citations,
August 2023 in “Nature communications” Hdac1 and Hdac2 help maintain and protect the cells that control hair growth.
39 citations,

April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The conclusion introduces a new way to classify skin cysts using their shape and genetic markers.
4 citations,
January 2021 in “Cell transplantation” Scientists found the best time to transplant human stem cells for hair growth is between days 16-18 when they have the right markers and growth potential.
Cornification is the process where living skin cells die to create a protective barrier, and problems with it can cause skin diseases.
Skin stem cells are crucial for maintaining and repairing skin, with potential for treating skin disorders and improving wound healing.
September 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Finasteride helps female-pattern hair loss.
September 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The study found that sweat glands normally suppress immune responses, but this is disrupted in certain skin diseases, possibly contributing to their development.
September 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Researchers created human cells that can turn into sebocytes, which may help study and treat skin conditions like acne.
150 citations,
October 2010 in “The American Journal of Pathology” The document concludes that more research is needed to better understand and treat primary cicatricial alopecias, and suggests a possible reclassification based on molecular pathways.
