January 2020 in “Cellular & Molecular Immunology/Cellular & molecular immunology” Tissue-resident memory T cells can protect against infections and cancer but may also contribute to autoimmune diseases.
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.

March 2024 in “Biomedicines” Mesenchymal stem cells show promise for effective skin repair and regeneration.
18 citations,
July 2001 in “Australian veterinary journal” A cat with skin bumps and itching had high blood fats and skin infections, which improved with diet and medication changes.
3 citations,
September 2023 in “Skin research and technology” New treatments for skin damage from UV light using stem cells and their secretions show promise for skin repair without major risks.

March 2001 in “Seminars in Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery” The document concludes that skin biopsies, genetic and environmental factors, and specific treatments are important in managing cutaneous lupus erythematosus.
April 2024 in “Biomolecules” Exosomal miRNAs from stem cells can help improve skin health and delay aging.
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.
