January 2017 in “Lasers in Surgery and Medicine” The 2017 issue emphasized progress in laser and energy-based skin treatments, but noted the need for more research on certain procedures and technologies.
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.
50 citations,
December 2013 in “Stem Cells” Stem cell niches are adaptable and key for tissue maintenance and repair.
January 2023 in “Postępy Dermatologii i Alergologii” Stem cells can improve wound healing, reduce scars, promote hair growth, rejuvenate skin, and enhance fat grafts in plastic surgery, but there are still some concerns.
Surgeons should evaluate new technologies critically, offer a range of services including non-surgical options, and be aware of marketing influences to meet patient needs and maintain a successful practice.
139 citations,
August 2018 in “Development” The niche environment controls stem cell behavior and plasticity, which is important for tissue health and repair.
61 citations,
December 2016 in “The EMBO Journal” The study showed that hair follicle stem cells can maintain and organize themselves in a lab setting, keeping their ability to renew and form hair and skin.
18 citations,
January 2019 in “Experimental Dermatology” Certain cells outside the hair follicle's bulge area can quickly regenerate damaged hair follicles, potentially helping to reduce hair loss from cancer treatments.
321 citations,
March 2015 in “Nature” Super-enhancers controlled by pioneer factors like SOX9 are crucial for stem cell adaptability and identity.
58 citations,
January 2020 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” Different methods of preparing Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) can affect wound healing and hair regrowth in plastic surgery. Using a kit with specific standards helps isolate PRP that meets quality criteria. Non-Activated PRP and Activated PRP have varying effects depending on the tissue and condition treated. For hair regrowth, Non-Activated PRP increased hair density more than Activated PRP. Both treatments improved various aspects of scalp health.
