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.
2 citations,

February 2024 in “Nature cell biology” Mechanical forces are crucial for shaping cells and forming tissues during development.
2 citations,
May 2023 in “Life” Plumbagin may help protect cells, reduce inflammation, and has potential for treating various diseases, but more research is needed.
7 citations,
October 2000 in “Allergo Journal” Stress may affect hair growth by influencing hair follicle development and could contribute to hair loss.
