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.
39 citations,

April 2021 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Bacteria can help skin regenerate through a process called IL-1β signaling.
April 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Eating grape powder may reduce the severity of skin allergy symptoms.
8 citations,
October 2016 in “Experimental dermatology” Hair follicles may help teach the immune system to tolerate new self-antigens, but this can sometimes cause hair loss.
15 citations,
April 2017 in “Cell Stem Cell” Some brain cancer cells avoid immune system detection, and certain treatments could target this to slow their growth; also, certain fat cell precursors help regenerate hair and skin after injury.
66 citations,
July 2015 in “Journal of Molecular Biology” The document concludes that for hair and feather growth, it's better to target the environment around stem cells than the cells themselves.
