Genetic modifications in skin cells (above) induced the cells into what scientists call a pluripotent state — a condition that is essentially the same as that of embryonic stem cells.

Hair growing skin produced from human stem cells Complete skin-in-adish tissue offers new options for wound healing, genetic skin conditions and baldness.

The latter observation correlates with Liu and co-workers’ finding that proper adhesion of the epidermis to the basement membrane mediates the maintenance of skin stem cells.

Stem cell research is a major challenge for medicine. Recently, asymmetric cell division was filmed in vivo in fruit fly germinal stem cells for the first time.

Stem cells are extremely beneficial in the natural process of healing and regeneration, but your skin is already packed with stem cells.

As skin-care brands continue to make crazy-scientific advancements, stem-cell products are popping up more and more in dermatology offices and on makeup counters everywhere.

Scientists have used stem cells to make fresh, healthy human skin in a laboratory dish, offering a new route for treating a group of debilitating skin diseases.

Experts explain everything you need to know about plant stem cells in skin care and how they can boost your skin's health, along with which products to buy.

Nov. 20 -- THURSDAY, Nov. 19 (HealthDay News) -- Embryonic stem cells, which can turn into a variety of cells in the body, can produce temporary skin that could help burn victims while they're ...

Two methods for creating embryonic stem cells just got a big boost. In one development, three teams of scientists report they have turned back the clock on mouse skin cells, changing them into ...

Researchers have found a way to transform skin cells into the three major stem cell types that comprise early-stage embryos. The work (in mouse cells) has significant implications for modeling ...

If the pluripotent stem cells can be turned into precursors to egg and sperm cells, the feat could potentially be a big deal for giant panda conservation.
