June 2007 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Hair can regrow in adult mice's skin after injury, and this regrowth doesn't come from existing hair cells but from skin cells in the wound, with Wnt7a protein helping this process. This could help treat baldness and scarring.

July 2012 in “Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects” The review found that different stem cell types in the skin are crucial for repair and could help treat skin diseases and cancer.
9 citations,
January 2017 in “Elsevier eBooks” Skin's epithelial stem cells are crucial for repair and maintenance, and understanding them could improve treatments for skin problems.
144 citations,
September 2012 in “Genes & development” Aging causes skin stem cells to work less effectively.
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.
34 citations,
January 2013 in “Frontiers in genetics” Stem cells can help other stem cells by producing supportive factors.
31 citations,
August 2015 in “Stem Cells Translational Medicine” Human skin can provide stem cells for tissue repair and regeneration, but there are challenges in obtaining and growing these cells safely.
7 citations,
December 2015 in “PloS one” Cryopreserved mouse whisker follicles can grow hair when transplanted into nude mice.
16 citations,
May 2011 in “The Journal of clinical investigation/The journal of clinical investigation” Some skin tumors may start from hair follicle stem cells.
10 citations,
May 2021 in “Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology” UV exposure causes hair thinning, graying, and changes in hair growth cycles in mice.
6 citations,
July 2018 in “Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine” Different body parts have varying levels of certain hair follicle markers.
1 citations,
