November 2022 in “Journal of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology” Aging changes hair stem cells and their environment, leading to gray hair and hair thinning, but understanding these changes could help develop treatments for hair regeneration.
479 citations,
June 2014 in “Science” Epithelial stem cells can adapt and help in tissue repair and regeneration.
129 citations,
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.
56 citations,
May 2017 in “Nature Cell Biology” Hair can regrow after certain stem cells are lost because other stem cells can take over their role.
480 citations,
August 2014 in “Nature Biotechnology” Changing the environment around stem cells could help tissue repair, but it's hard to be precise and avoid side effects.
211 citations,
November 2018 in “Nature Cell Biology” Stem cells help heal skin wounds by moving and changing roles, working with other cells, and needing more research on their activation and behavior.

135 citations,
December 2013 in “Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology” Stem cells in the hair follicle are regulated by their surrounding environment, which is important for hair growth.
133 citations,
September 2013 in “Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology” Different types of stem cells and their environments are key to skin repair and maintenance.

49 citations,
March 2014 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Using the drugs AMD3100 and Tacrolimus together greatly improves skin healing and hair growth after a deep skin cut by increasing stem cells in the wound.
38 citations,
June 2016 in “Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology and Medicine” Peptide hydrogel scaffolds help grow new hair follicles using stem cells.
