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.

December 2010 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” Scientists turned mouse stem cells into skin cells that can grow into skin layers and structures.
62 citations,
July 1993 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Hair growth is influenced by interactions between skin layers, growth factors, and hormones, but the exact mechanisms are not fully understood.
29 citations,
July 1993 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” Hair follicle development involves complex interactions between skin layers and cells, but many details are still unknown.
