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.

June 2026 in “Discover Immunity.” Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are promising for skin repair and rejuvenation due to their regenerative, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties. This review highlights MSCs from neonatal sources like the placenta and umbilical cord for their availability and scalability. MSCs aid skin repair through paracrine mechanisms, enhancing collagen production, reducing inflammation, and promoting cell growth. Clinical studies, including a meta-analysis of 55 trials with 2,696 patients, show MSCs' safety and efficacy in improving wound healing and skin conditions. Despite challenges like delivery optimization and reduced efficacy over time, MSC-based therapies, including MSC-derived extracellular vesicles and biomaterial-assisted delivery, show potential in regenerative and aesthetic applications.
