research Epithelial Stem Cells: Turning over New Leaves

508 citations , February 2007 in “Cell”

Epithelial stem cells are crucial for tissue renewal and repair, and understanding them could improve treatments for damage and cancer.

research Lineage potential, plasticity and environmental reprogramming of epithelial stem/progenitor cells

4 citations , May 2014 in “Biochemical Society Transactions”

Environmental cues can change the fate and function of epithelial cells, with potential for cell therapy.

research Dedifferentiation of committed epithelial cells into stem cells in vivo

551 citations , November 2013 in “Nature”

Certain mature cells in mouse lungs can turn back into stem cells to aid in tissue repair.

research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia

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.

research Eavesdropping on the conversation between immune cells and the skin epithelium

10 citations , January 2019 in “International Immunology”

Immune cells help keep skin healthy and repair it, but imbalance can cause disease.

community Adipocyte lipolysis activates epithelial stem cells for hair regeneration through fatty acid metabolic signaling

in Research/Science 22 upvotes 9 months ago

Fatty acid metabolic signaling can activate epithelial stem cells for hair regeneration. Oleic and palmitoleic acids showed the best results, but practical application on humans remains uncertain.

community HairClone developing cell replacement treatments for Hair Loss

4 upvotes 7 years ago

HairClone is developing cell replacement treatments to rejuvenate and generate hair follicles, and has launched a crowdfunding campaign. A user expressed skepticism about the need for crowdfunding.

community Microneedling and aloe vera to recruit stem cells.

in Chat 13 upvotes 2 years ago

Microneedling combined with aloe vera may stimulate dormant stem cells in hair loss areas. Minoxidil is also suggested for better results.

community Researchers working on ways to regenerate lost hair from stem cells identified a recipe for normal hair regeneration in the lab. “A method for cyclical regeneration of hair follicles from hair follicle stem cells and will help make hair follicle regeneration therapy a reality in the near future.”

in Research/Science 263 upvotes 5 years ago

Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hair transplants have side effects and limitations. There is hope for future advancements in stem cell therapy and hair follicle regeneration, though skepticism about their effectiveness and timeline persists.

community Hair cloning breakthrough, this might just be the big one ?

in Research/Science 422 upvotes 5 months ago

Japanese scientists discovered ABM cells, enabling successful human hair follicle cloning, potentially curing hair loss. The treatment may be available in Japan by 2028, but it will be expensive and require travel.
