August 2024 in “International Journal of Basic & Clinical Pharmacology” Secretome-based therapies could improve hair growth better than current treatments.
5 citations,
September 2011 in “Cell stem cell” Epigenetic changes are crucial for hair follicle stem cells to function properly.

March 2015 in “Nature” Super-enhancers controlled by pioneer factors like SOX9 are crucial for stem cell adaptability and identity.
129 citations,
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.
81 citations,
June 2014 in “Cold Spring Harbor perspectives in medicine” Skin has specialized touch receptors that can tell different sensations apart.
36 citations,
July 2014 in “Experimental Dermatology” Skin and hair can regenerate after injury due to changes in gene activity, with potential links to how cancer spreads. Future research should focus on how new hair follicles form and the processes that trigger their creation.
22 citations,
June 2013 in “International journal of molecular sciences” Stem cell differentiation is crucial for skin barrier maintenance and its disruption can lead to skin diseases.
6 citations,
December 2021 in “PLoS Genetics” Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 is not needed for hair regeneration.
3 citations,
February 2014 in “Asian Pacific journal of tropical medicine” Wnt5a may slow down hair growth in mice.
1 citations,
January 2018 in “Stem cell biology and regenerative medicine” DNA methylation is essential for skin and hair follicle development, and could be a target for treating skin diseases.
May 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Activating Wnt in skin cells controls the number of hair follicles by directing cell movement and fate.
May 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” DNMT3A is crucial for healthy skin and hair growth.
April 2018 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” Skin heals with scars because only one type of fibroblast is used, not a mix.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Obesity can weaken the skin's ability to fight infections because fat cells stop and reduce the infection-fighting properties of nearby stem cells.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Arrector pili muscle regulates hair follicle stem cells, DNA methylation needed for hair cycling, and Wnt/B-catenin signaling starts hair growth.
