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.
March 2024 in “Advanced healthcare materials/Advanced Healthcare Materials” Scientists developed a new way to create skin-like structures from stem cells using a special 3D gel and a device that improves cell organization and increases hair growth.
