Sweat gland is one of the important appendage organs of the skin, which plays an important role in thermoregulation and homeostasis maintenance. Sweat glands are damaged and unable to self-repair after burns, resulting in perspiration disorders eventually. However, current clinical strategies cannot restore the function of the damaged sweat glands effectively. Therefore, it is urgent to seek treatments that can promote the regeneration of sweat glands and restore their normal functions. Stem cells have extensive sources, low immunogenicity, high proliferation capacity, and multi-directional differentiation potential, which have become a focus in the field of regenerative medicine. In recent years, a variety of stem cells have been induced to differentiate into sweat gland-like tissue with certain secretory function, which provides treatment direction for sweat gland regeneration after burns in clinic. This article reviews the recent research advances on the application of stem cells in sweat gland regeneration from the perspectives of the manner by which stem cells transform into sweat gland cells in different environments and their influencing factors.
汗腺作为皮肤的重要附属器官之一，对体温调节和内环境稳态维持起重要作用。烧伤后汗腺遭到破坏，无法进行自我修复，最终遗留排汗障碍问题，而目前的临床治疗策略均无法有效恢复损伤汗腺的功能。因此亟待寻求能够促进汗腺再生并恢复其正常功能的治疗手段。干细胞来源广泛、免疫原性低、增殖能力强且具有多向分化潜能等优势，已成为再生医学领域的研究热点。近年来已有多种干细胞被诱导分化为具有一定分泌功能的汗腺样组织，为临床烧伤后汗腺再生提供了治疗方向。本文主要从不同环境中干细胞转化为汗腺细胞的方式及其影响因素方面，就干细胞在汗腺再生中的应用研究进展进行综述。.
