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.
118 citations,
January 2016 in “Current Topics in Developmental Biology” The document concludes that while significant progress has been made in understanding skin biology and stem cells, more research is needed to fully understand their interactions with their environment.
426 citations,
August 2014 in “Nature Medicine” Skin stem cells interacting with their environment is crucial for maintaining and regenerating skin and hair, and understanding this can help develop new treatments for skin and hair disorders.
33 citations,
August 2013 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Human hair follicle stem cells show signs of low oxygen levels, which may be important for hair growth and preventing baldness.
1 citations,
April 2019 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” People with Hidradenitis Suppurativa have less diverse skin bacteria and different bacterial metabolism than healthy individuals.
