August 2020 in “Current protocols in stem cell biology” Scientists developed a way to create skin and hair cells from human stem cells, which could help treat burns and restore hair.
14 citations
,
January 2019 in “Advances in experimental medicine and biology” Skin stem cells are promising for healing wounds and skin regeneration due to their accessibility and regenerative abilities.
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.
August 2023 in “Scientific reports” Human stem cells were turned into cells similar to those that help grow hair and showed potential for hair follicle formation.
October 2023 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” Immune cells are essential for early hair and skin development and healing.

April 2009 in “International journal of oncology” Hair follicle cells resist turning into skin cells.
April 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Deleting the CRIF1 gene in mice disrupts skin and hair formation, certain proteins affect hair growth, a new compound may improve skin and hair health, blood cell-derived stem cells can create skin-like structures, and hair follicle stem cells come from embryonic cells needing specific signals for development.
January 2009 in “Bradford Scholars (University of Bradford)” BMP signaling helps prevent skin tumors by blocking cancer-promoting pathways.
August 2023 in “Micromachines” The new method can create hair follicle-like structures but not complete hair with roots and shafts, needing more improvement.
1 citations
,
June 2015 in “Experimental Dermatology” Fat may help skin health and repair, but more research is needed.
June 2007 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Hair can regrow in adult mice's skin after injury, and this regrowth doesn't come from existing hair cells but from skin cells in the wound, with Wnt7a protein helping this process. This could help treat baldness and scarring.
May 2007 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Hair can regrow in adult mice's skin after injury, and this process can be boosted by increasing Wnt7a, a protein. This could potentially help treat baldness and change our understanding of hair growth.
May 2007 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Hair can regrow in adult mice's skin after injury, and this regrowth doesn't come from existing hair cells but from skin cells in the wound, with Wnt7a protein helping this process. This could help treat baldness and scarring.

January 2018 in “Biomedical Reports” Exosomes are important for skin health and could help diagnose and treat skin diseases.
9 citations
,
February 2025 in “Journal of Nanobiotechnology” Biomimetic nanovesicles can speed up diabetic wound healing by regulating immune cell behavior and metabolism.
34 citations
,
July 2018 in “Veterinary Dermatology” A new method to study dog skin diseases using lab-grown skin cells was developed.
January 1999 in “Praxis sociológica” Melanocyte stem cells can become melanoma, resembling human melanoma.
