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.
23 citations,
March 2010 in “Medical hypotheses” Merkel cells may have roles in sensing magnetic fields, creating fingerprints, Reiki energy healing, passing on environmental information to offspring, and influencing hair shape.
23 citations,
October 2018 in “Australasian Journal of Dermatology” The current understanding of frontal fibrosing alopecia involves immune, genetic, hormonal factors, and possibly environmental triggers, but more research is needed for effective treatments.
1 citations,
March 2021 in “Dermatological reviews” AGA, a common hair loss, is caused by genetics, hormones, age, and environmental factors.
788 citations,
February 2007 in “Nature” The document concludes that skin stem cells are important for hair growth and wound healing, and could be used in regenerative medicine.
11 citations,
January 2013 in “Postępy Dermatologii i Alergologii” The conclusion is that a combination of noninvasive treatments and lifestyle changes can improve skin health during menopause.
7 citations,

September 2023 in “Nature Communications” Immune cells are essential for skin regeneration using biomaterial scaffolds.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Older mice healed wounds better but lost more weight and might have weaker immune systems afterward.
211 citations,
November 2018 in “Nature Cell Biology” Stem cells help heal skin wounds by moving and changing roles, working with other cells, and needing more research on their activation and behavior.
110 citations,
July 2017 in “Immunology” Skin's Regulatory T cells are crucial for maintaining skin health and could be targeted to treat immune-related skin diseases and cancer.
