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.
18 citations,

9 citations,
March 2011 in “Current Pharmaceutical Biotechnology” Stem cell therapies show promise for treating various diseases but face challenges in clinical use and require better monitoring techniques.
10 citations,
September 2022 in “Advanced Healthcare Materials” Current methods can't fully recreate skin and its features, and more research is needed for clinical use.
6 citations,
August 2022 in “Science immunology” Foxn1 gene regulation is crucial for thymus development but not for hair growth.
1 citations,
