Different types of skin cells and immune cells play a role in healing UV-damaged skin, with chronic UV exposure causing lasting damage to certain skin cells.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Aging reduces skin cell renewal and defense against germs due to TGFbeta, but blocking TGFbeta could help restore these functions.
Injecting follicular cells into skin can lead to the formation of new hair follicles.
189 citations,
July 2009 in “The Journal of clinical investigation/The journal of clinical investigation” Epidermolysis bullosa simplex causes easily blistered skin due to faulty skin cell proteins, leading to new treatment ideas.
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.
107 citations,
August 2012 in “Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology” The document concludes that understanding the sebaceous gland's development and function is key to addressing related skin diseases and aging effects.
87 citations,
January 2016 in “Development” Blocking β-catenin in skin cells improves hair growth during wound healing.
51 citations,
March 2014 in “Nature Communications” Skin tumor regression is helped by retinoic acid signaling blocking Wnt signaling.
33 citations,
December 2015 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” Melanocyte stem cells are crucial for skin pigmentation and have potential in disease modeling and regenerative medicine.
32 citations,
December 1999 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” 17-β-Estradiol applied to the skin stops hair growth, while ICI 182 780 helps hair grow in mice.
13 citations,
July 2020 in “World journal of stem cells” Vitamin D and calcium are important for skin stem cell function and wound healing.
8 citations,

6 citations,
June 2022 in “Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology” The gel with icariin speeds up wound healing, reduces scarring, and helps hair growth by controlling BMP4 signaling. It also reduces inflammation and improves wound quality in mice, adapts to different wound shapes, and gradually releases icariin to aid healing. It also prevents too much collagen and myofibroblast formation during skin healing.
