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.
February 2022 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Newborn skin cells can change into wound-healing cells more easily than adult ones, which might explain why baby skin heals without scars. Understanding this could help treat chronic wounds and prevent scarring.
Different types of sun exposure can damage skin cells and affect healing, with chronic exposure being more harmful, and certain immune cells help in the repair process.

128 citations,
October 2011 in “Development” Activating a protein called β-catenin in adult skin can make it behave like young skin, potentially helping with skin aging and hair loss.
8 citations,

23 citations,
July 2007 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” Hair follicle bulge cells don't help skin regrow after glucocorticoid damage; interfollicular epidermis cells do.
3 citations,
October 2023 in “Military Medical Research/Military medical research” Regulatory T cells help heal skin and grow hair, and their absence can lead to healing issues and hair loss.
1 citations,
November 2020 in “Biochemical Society transactions” Different types of skin stem cells can change and adapt, which is important for developing new treatments.
3 citations,
February 2021 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” Adult esophageal cells can start to become like skin cells, with a key pathway influencing this change.
96 citations,
April 2007 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Grafted rodent and human cells can regenerate hair follicles, but efficiency decreases with age.
8 citations,
May 2021 in “Bioengineering & translational medicine” Hair growth environment recreated with challenges; stem cells make successful skin organoids.
2 citations,
September 2022 in “Frontiers in Immunology” T-regulatory cells are important for skin health and can affect hair growth and reduce skin inflammation.
2 citations,
January 2022 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Hedgehog signaling in skin cells is crucial for hair growth and skin healing, but needs to be balanced to avoid harmful effects like scarring and cancer.
December 2023 in “Animals” The study mapped yak skin cells to understand hair growth better.
8 citations,
April 2009 in “International journal of oncology” Hair follicle cells resist turning into skin cells.

97 citations,
September 2016 in “Reviews in Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders” The sebaceous gland has more roles than just producing sebum and contributing to acne, and new research could lead to better skin disease treatments.
5 citations,
December 2020 in “Experimental dermatology” A specific type of skin cell creates an opening for hair to grow out, and problems with this process can lead to skin conditions.
