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.
January 2017 in “Journal of clinical & experimental dermatology research” Scientists have found a way to create hair follicles from human stem cells, which could potentially be used to treat hair loss.
5 citations,
November 2017 in “Elsevier eBooks” Scientists can now grow hair-like structures in a lab using special 3D culture systems, which could potentially help people with hair loss or severe burns.

December 2018 in “Advanced Healthcare Materials” Layer-by-Layer self-assembly is promising for biomedical uses like tissue engineering and cell therapy, but challenges remain in material safety and process optimization.
April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The research found that certain factors in hair follicle cells control hair growth and development, and these could be used to create new treatments for hair loss.
January 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
