Abstract :

Skin is the largest organ of human body, acting as a barricade with protective, immunologic and sensorial functions. The permanent exposure of skin to the external milieu can result in diverse types of impairment, leading to activation of stem cells in order to reconstitute impaired skin. Using the lessons learned from the study of skin healing, the role of stem cells in each step of the healing will be discussed and will highlight the new source of stem cells which are important for skin maintenance, healing and rejuvenilations. Moreover, by unrevelling some new sources of allogenic stem cells with minimal immunogenicity, I will discuss some pre-clinical experiemtns that demonstarate allogenic stem cells might be used for skin care.
