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.
56 citations,
May 2017 in “Nature Cell Biology” Hair can regrow after certain stem cells are lost because other stem cells can take over their role.
24 citations,
March 2018 in “Pigment Cell & Melanoma Research” The environment around melanocyte stem cells is key for hair regeneration and color, with certain injuries affecting hair color and potential treatments for pigmentation disorders.
15 citations,

2 citations,
January 2018 in “Journal of clinical & experimental dermatology research” Both fat-derived stem cells and platelet-rich plasma are effective and safe for hair loss, but stem cells give better results with more side effects.
34 citations,
April 2018 in “EMBO journal” The protein SLC1A3 is important for activating skin stem cells and is necessary for normal hair and skin growth in mice.
54 citations,
August 2019 in “Bioscience trends” Stem cells help repair tissue mainly by releasing beneficial substances, not by replacing damaged cells.
