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.

75 citations,
March 2014 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Aging mice have slower hair regeneration due to changes in signal balance, but the environment, not stem cell loss, controls this, suggesting treatments could focus on environmental factors.
67 citations,
January 2020 in “Cellular & Molecular Immunology/Cellular & molecular immunology” Tissue-resident memory T cells can protect against infections and cancer but may also contribute to autoimmune diseases.
44 citations,

4 citations,
January 2021 in “Dermatologic Therapy” AI is effective in diagnosing and treating hair disorders, including detecting hair loss and scalp conditions with high accuracy, but it should supplement, not replace, doctor-patient interactions.
88 citations,
January 2019 in “Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine” Conditioned media from mesenchymal stem cell cultures could be a more effective alternative for regenerative therapies, but more research is needed.
