Depression is a prevalent global health concern, and the workplace is no exception to its reach. According to the World Health Organization, depression is a leading cause of disability worldwide. In the workplace, it manifests as decreased productivity, increased absenteeism, and strained interpersonal relationships, affecting not only the individual but also the overall organizational climate [3].

Despite its prevalence, depression in the workplace often remains shrouded in stigma. Employees may fear judgment, discrimination, or professional repercussions if they disclose their mental health struggles. This silence perpetuates a culture where mental health concerns are viewed as a weakness rather than a legitimate health issue, hindering open conversations and support systems [4].

Concentration difficulties, fatigue,and a pervasive sense of hopelessness can impede productivity. The quality of work may suffer, deadlines might be missed, and creativity may be stifled. Left unaddressed, depression in the workplace can contribute to a cycle of underperformance, further exacerbating the individual's mental health challenges [5].

Companies must foster a culture that prioritizes mental health, encouraging open conversations and ensuring that employees feel supported rather than judged. Here are key strategies to create a supportive work environment [6].

Advancements in bioengineering, stem cell research, and molecular biology are driving innovation in skin appendage regeneration. Emerging technologies like 3D bio printing, CRISPR/ Cas9 gene editing, and advanced biomaterials offer unprecedented opportunities to recreate complex skin appendages with precision. The concept of personalized medicine is gaining traction in skin appendage regeneration [7,8].

Tailoring treatments based on an individual’s genetic makeup, environmental factors, and specific needs could optimize the success of regenerative therapies. Ethical considerations, including patient consent, equitable access to advanced treatments, and the potential social impact of altering physical appearance through regenerative interventions, require thoughtful examination in the context of skin appendage regeneration [9,10].
