Summary:

The skin is the largest organ of the human body and has many functions. Stem cells of the epidermis and hair follicles are necessary for homeostasis and skin regeneration, which leads to the restoration of the integrity and function of the damaged tissue. Currently, we are actively searching for the best therapeutic strategies to restore the barrier function of the skin. Stem cells are recognized as potential candidates for the treatment of numerous skin pathologies. Therapeutic strategies of modern medicine require an understanding of the potential uses of stem cells for treating skin diseases.
