Stem Cells in Dermatology and Anti-aging Care of the Skin

Multipotent stem cells have paved the way for new applications and deeper understanding in regenerative medicine and the pathophysiology of aging. During skin aging, cumulative photodamage, exhaustion of endogenous stem cell populations, mechanical stress, and increased fibrosis lead to skin with decreased epidermal thickness and compromised dermal integrity. Various studies characterizing dermatologic stem cell populations and its coordination with one another during wound healing have uncovered how these components can act as a skin aging therapy.
