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.
26 citations,
January 2019 in “Experimental Dermatology” Researchers created early-stage hair-like structures from skin cells, showing how these cells can self-organize, but more is needed for complete hair growth.
4 citations,
July 2022 in “Annals of translational medicine” Scientists created complete hair-like structures by growing mouse skin cells together in a special gel.
1 citations,
October 2012 in “Elsevier eBooks” Skin stem cells can help improve skin repair and regeneration.
28 citations,
March 2019 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” The document concludes that while lab results for hair growth promotion are promising, human trials are needed and better testing methods should be developed.
20 citations,
November 2021 in “Frontiers in cell and developmental biology” Skin organoids from stem cells could better mimic real skin but face challenges.
Stem cells regenerate tissues and their behavior varies by environment, suggesting the hematopoietic system model may need revision.
291 citations,
April 2010 in “Gastroenterology” Certain proteins, Lgr5 and Lgr6, are important markers of adult stem cells and are involved in tissue repair and cancer development.
May 2023 in “Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology” The document concludes that using stem cells to regenerate hair follicles could be a promising treatment for hair loss, but there are still challenges to overcome before it can be used clinically.
