July 2026 in “Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences” The study introduces a novel Janus microneedle (Janus MN) designed for vitiligo treatment, which targets immune regulation, melanocyte regeneration, and melanosome transfer. The microneedle features a core-shell bilayer structure, with the shell containing hypericin-assembled nanoparticles and astragalus polysaccharides to improve the microenvironment by reducing oxidative stress and inhibiting immune attacks on melanocytes. The core, containing stabilized trypsin, activates the PAR2 signaling pathway to enhance melanosome transfer, promoting pigmentation. This approach achieves a multidimensional intervention by integrating dual targets within the epidermis and hair follicles, offering a precise, spatiotemporally sequential treatment strategy for vitiligo.

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.
