August 2023 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study created a detailed spatial atlas of healthy human skin and basal cell carcinoma, revealing a potential hair follicle origin for basal cell carcinoma and expansion of certain mesenchymal cell populations.
4 citations
,
June 2022 in “Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology” This review discusses the heterogeneity of dermal fibroblasts in healthy mouse and human skin and reports no clinical results; the authors highlight potential insights into physiological and pathological wound healing.
225 citations
,
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Two main types of fibroblasts with unique functions and additional subtypes were identified in human skin.
418 citations
,
January 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study identified at least four distinct fibroblast populations in adult human skin, each with unique functional properties, suggesting potential therapeutic applications for wound healing and fibrosis-related diseases.
87 citations
,
January 2016 in “Development” This study suggests that the postnatal loss of hair follicle formation in wounds may be due to elevated Wnt/β-catenin activation in the dermis, affecting fibroblast function in mice.
178 citations
,
April 2011 in “Journal of Clinical Investigation” This study found that the phenotype of Hedgehog/Gli-driven skin tumors in mice depends on the cell of origin, tissue context, and level of oncogenic signaling.
351 citations
,
February 2010 in “Nature Cell Biology” Basal cell carcinoma mostly starts from cells in the upper skin layers, not hair follicle stem cells.
165 citations
,
December 2004 in “Differentiation” This review discusses the critical role of BMP signaling in the development and regulation of skin and hair follicles and notes that further research could aid therapeutic advances; it presents no new clinical results.
854 citations
,
February 2002 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This review summarizes recent advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms of hair follicle formation and discusses potential future clinical applications for treating hair loss and skin tumors, but it reports no new clinical results.
