June 2007 in “Cell Stem Cell” Removing the ATR gene in adult mice causes rapid aging and stem cell loss.
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.
28 citations

January 2018 in “Methods in molecular biology” The research found ways to activate melanocyte stem cells for potential treatment of skin depigmentation conditions.
January 2014 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Proteins like aPKC and PDGF-AA, substances like adenosine and ATP, and adipose-derived stem cells all play important roles in hair growth and health, and could potentially be used to treat hair loss and skin conditions.
January 2008 in “Durham e-Theses (Durham University)” Hair follicle stem cells are similar to mesenchymal stem cells and can become neural-like cells under certain conditions.

165 citations
,
June 2007 in “European Journal of Cell Biology” Hair follicle stem cells are key for hair and skin regeneration, can be reprogrammed, and have potential therapeutic uses, but also carry a risk of cancer.
156 citations
,
October 2012 in “Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology” Different types of stem cells in hair follicles play unique roles in wound healing and hair growth, with some stem cells not originating from existing hair follicles but from non-hair follicle cells. WNT signaling and the Lhx2 factor are key in creating new hair follicles.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Activating Nrf2 helps wounds heal faster by increasing hair follicle stem cells.
