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.
33 citations,
April 2020 in “Journal of Clinical Investigation” Stress in hair follicle stem cells causes inflammation in a chronic skin condition through a specific immune response pathway.
1 citations,

82 citations,
June 2020 in “Inflammation Research” Skin problems in COVID-19 patients are rare and may be due to the body's complex immune response or blood clotting issues.
32 citations,
January 2022 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” Melatonin, a hormone, can help protect skin from aging by reducing stress, inflammation, and damage, and may also help treat hair loss in women.

July 2019 in “The Journal of Dermatology” Terbinafine effectively treated kerion celsi despite disrupted immune responses.
August 2024 in “Cell Death and Disease” Activating TLR9 helps heal wounds and regrow hair by using specific immune cells.
1 citations,
August 2019 in “Polskie Archiwum Medycyny Wewnętrznej” A patient with lupus experienced a condition where their immune cells became overactive.
February 2024 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” Activating TLR9 helps heal large wounds and regrow hair by involving a specific type of immune cell.
May 2023 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” Mesenchymal stem cells could help treat radiation-induced bladder damage but more research is needed to overcome current limitations.
PEGylated liposomal doxorubicin improves cancer treatment effectiveness and reduces side effects like heart damage and hair loss.
141 citations,
August 2018 in “Nature Reviews Microbiology” Some viruses can cause cancer by changing cell processes and avoiding the immune system; vaccines and targeted treatments help reduce these cancers.
23 citations,
October 1996 in “Dermatologic clinics” Genes affect cytokine production, which can influence chronic diseases, and certain interventions may help prevent related molecular damage.
1 citations,
