May 2014 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” Using your own skin cells can help repair aging skin and promote hair growth.
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.

48 citations,
June 2020 in “Current Rheumatology Reports” Different types of fibroblasts play various roles in both healthy and diseased tissues, and understanding them better could improve treatments for fibrotic diseases.
488 citations,
July 2021 in “Cell” Fibroblasts are crucial for tissue repair and inflammation, and understanding them can help treat fibrotic diseases.
1 citations,
August 2023 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” The research created a detailed map of skin cells, showing that certain cells in basal cell carcinoma may come from hair follicles and could help the cancer grow.
November 2023 in “Frontiers in veterinary science” The study provides insights into hair growth mechanisms in yaks.
35 citations,
August 2021 in “npj Regenerative Medicine” Fibroblasts, cells usually linked to tissue repair, also help regenerate various organs and their ability decreases with age. Turning adult fibroblasts back to a younger state could be a new treatment approach.
20 citations,
August 2022 in “Frontiers in Immunology” Fibroblasts are important in healing diabetic wounds, but high sugar levels can harm their function and slow down the healing process.
9 citations,
May 2021 in “Immunological Reviews” Different types of fibroblasts play various roles in kidney repair and aging, and may affect chronic kidney disease outcomes.
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.
132 citations,
June 2016 in “Cell and Tissue Research” The right cells and signals can potentially lead to scarless wound healing, with a mix of natural and external wound healing controllers possibly being the best way to achieve this.
1 citations,
January 2018 in “Elsevier eBooks” The skin's dermal layer contains true stem cells with diverse functions and interactions that need more research to fully understand.
1 citations,
March 2023 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” Skin cell types develop when specific genes are turned on by removing certain chemical tags from DNA.
211 citations,
May 2018 in “Trends in cell biology” Different types of skin cells play specific roles in development, healing, and cancer.
6 citations,
June 2021 in “Developmental biology” Dermal EZH2 controls skin cell development and hair growth in mice.
Dermal stem cells help regenerate hair follicles and heal skin wounds.
