March 2021 in “Experimental dermatology” This review discusses recent progress in understanding the cellular mechanisms of sebaceous gland development and maintenance, emphasizing the role of stem and progenitor cells in related skin pathologies, and reports no new results.
February 2026 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” In this study, Lrig1-positive stem cells in mouse hair follicles were found to be essential for sebaceous gland formation and maintenance, with their depletion causing a temporary loss of these glands and changes in cellular differentiation.
September 2026 in “Stem Cell Reviews and Reports” Bulge progenitor cells show promise for regenerating hair follicles and increasing hair density.
July 2026 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” In this study, researchers observed that TCDD exposure in mice enhanced sebaceous gland differentiation and lipid production before causing seboatrophy, providing insights into the cellular events that may contribute to chloracne pathogenesis.
September 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study suggests that the newly characterized sebocytic progenitor cells HSGC1 and HSGC2 from different skin sites may have proliferative and differentiating potential in response to DHT.
