Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Hair follicle stem cells derived from skin and hair have the most readily available sources, and cannot lead to serious complications and immunogenicity after collection, which can be used for autologous transplantation.

OBJECTIVE: To provide effective experiment basis for hair follicle stem cells in the repair of skin wound through reviewing the role of hair follicle stem cells in promote the repair of skin wound.
METHODS: Articles related to hair follicle stem cells for the repair of skin wound were retrieved in CNKI and PubMed databases (1999-01/2014-12). The key words were “hair follicle stem cell, skin repairing, regenerative medicine, tissue engineering” in Chinese and English, respectively. A total of 45 articles based on inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria were obtained for the review.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Hair follicle stem cells belong to adult stem cells, which are easy to access, have a significant number, and possess differentiation potential and safety. Hair follicle stem cells can promote the repair of skin wound and provides good seed cells for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering research through early vascularization of the skin, epidermal and appendage regeneration, signaling pathways, and transcription factors.
