August 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Muse cells keep their special features and can become different cell types even after being frozen and thawed three times.
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.

34 citations,
June 2005 in “Developmental dynamics” Runx3 helps determine hair shape.
77 citations,
March 2014 in “Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine” Fat cells are important for healthy skin, hair growth, and healing, and changes in these cells can affect skin conditions and aging.
June 2022 in “Research Square (Research Square)” Nestin-expressing cells turn into a specific type of skin cell in hair follicles during development and in adults.
May 2022 in “Research Square (Research Square)” Nestin marks cells that can become a specific type of skin cell in hair follicles of both developing and adult mice.
98 citations,
February 2007 in “Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology” Androgens can both stimulate and cause hair loss, and understanding their effects is key to treating hair disorders.
84 citations,
December 2017 in “EMBO Reports” Circadian rhythms are crucial for stem cell function and tissue repair, and understanding them may improve aging and regeneration treatments.

1039 citations,
February 2009 in “Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology” Skin stem cells are crucial for maintaining and repairing the skin and hair, using a complex mix of signals to do so.
788 citations,
February 2007 in “Nature” The document concludes that skin stem cells are important for hair growth and wound healing, and could be used in regenerative medicine.
306 citations,
April 2019 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” The skin has a complex immune system that is essential for protection and healing, requiring more research for better wound treatment.
