February 2011 in “Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine” The best method for transplanting skin cells to regenerate hair follicles is the Hemi-vascularized sandwich method, as it produces more mature follicles and promotes hair growth.
April 2018 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” Researchers found a new way to isolate sweat glands from the scalp for study and culture.
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.
2 citations,
November 2018 in “Cell Stem Cell” The research found a new way to heal chronic skin ulcers by turning certain cells into skin tissue using specific factors.
265 citations,
July 2012 in “Cell” The study found that sweat glands contain different types of stem cells that help with healing and maintaining healthy skin.
153 citations,
October 2007 in “Cell Stem Cell” New research suggests that skin cell renewal may not require a special type of cell previously thought to be essential.
50 citations,
September 2014 in “Stem cell reports” BLIMP1 is essential for skin maintenance but not for defining sebaceous gland progenitors.
7 citations,
August 2022 in “Nature communications” A specific group of slow-growing stem cells marked by Thy1 is crucial for skin maintenance and healing in mice.
2 citations,
June 2020 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” 3D imaging of skin biopsies offers better accuracy but is time-consuming and can't clear melanin.
May 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Activating Wnt in skin cells controls the number of hair follicles by directing cell movement and fate.
