November 2024 in “Experimental Dermatology” This study explores the potential of generating skin-derived precursor-like (SKP-like) cells from human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived skin organoids (SKOs) to overcome the limitations of adult human SKPs, which lose potency after in vitro expansion. The researchers developed a protocol to isolate SKP-like cells from SKOs, which maintained characteristic spheroid morphology and self-renewal capabilities. Immunofluorescence analysis confirmed the expression of key markers such as SOX2, fibronectin, and S100β in these cells. The findings suggest that SKO-derived SKP-like cells could be promising for hair regenerative applications and highlight the value of SKOs as a source for isolating progenitor cells to advance hair regeneration and restore skin function.
