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.

24 citations,
April 2012 in “Developmental Biology” Dermal papillae cells, important for hair growth, come from multiple cell lines and can be formed by skin cells, regardless of their origin or hair cycle phase. These cells rarely divide, but their ability to shape tissue may contribute to their efficiency in inducing hair growth.
September 2016 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” Golden oyster mushroom extract may protect skin cells from aging by its antioxidant properties.
September 2016 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” A gene mutation worsens skin irritation in mice due to a lack of certain fats.

January 2014 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Proteins like aPKC and PDGF-AA, substances like adenosine and ATP, and adipose-derived stem cells all play important roles in hair growth and health, and could potentially be used to treat hair loss and skin conditions.
4 citations,
January 2022 in “Life” Tissue engineering could be a future solution for hair loss, but it's currently expensive, complex, and hard to apply in real-world treatments.
