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.

April 2008 in “Human Molecular Genetics” Skin and hair can help us understand organ regeneration, especially how certain stem cells might be used to form new organs.
May 2007 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Hair can regrow in adult mice's skin after injury, and this process can be boosted by increasing Wnt7a, a protein. This could potentially help treat baldness and change our understanding of hair growth.
