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.
36 citations,

1 citations,
January 2015 in “Journal of Pigmentary Disorders” Treating melasma in men is difficult, especially for the deeper skin layers, and may need more than just topical treatments.
4 citations,
September 2012 in “Journal of dermatological science” The hair follicle's connective tissue is a key source of a certain collagen in human scalp skin.

May 2014 in “Experimental Dermatology” Skin fat cells help with skin balance, hair growth, and healing wounds.
75 citations,
October 2016 in “Genes & Development” Cells in hair follicles help create fat cells in the skin by releasing a protein called Sonic Hedgehog.
69 citations,
September 2006 in “Human Reproduction” Women with PCOS have fewer activated T cells in their ovarian follicles, which might affect fertility.
45 citations,
July 2009 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The S100A4 protein is more common in psoriatic skin and could be a target for treating psoriasis.

36 citations,
July 2014 in “Experimental Dermatology” Skin and hair can regenerate after injury due to changes in gene activity, with potential links to how cancer spreads. Future research should focus on how new hair follicles form and the processes that trigger their creation.
