    TLDR Bone marrow-derived cells contribute to skin tumors, suggesting new treatment targets for non-melanoma skin cancers.
    The study investigated the role of bone marrow-derived epithelial cells (BMDECs) in the development of skin tumors in mice, using a model of chronic inflammation and carcinogenesis. It was found that BMDECs were recruited to over 40% of papillomas, occupying significant portions of the epithelial lesional area, and their recruitment was even greater in dysplastic ulcers. These cells contributed to lesions similarly to hair follicle stem cells. The study also demonstrated that bone marrow cells (BMCs) could produce cytokeratins and migrate towards specific proteins, suggesting a systemic contribution to tumor development. The findings indicated that carcinogen-exposed BMCs could initiate benign and malignant lesions, highlighting potential new targets for treating non-melanoma skin cancers.

      community Stem cells for hair, does it work?

      in Technology  7 upvotes 3 months ago
      Stem cell treatments for hair restoration can be effective, but results vary and depend on factors like the type of stem cells used and timing of treatment. PRP and exosomes have shown some success, while costs and effectiveness differ by location, with South Korea and Turkey offering more affordable options.

      community Lavdik Hair Growth Serum?

      in Product 5 years ago
      A user is concerned about the legitimacy of a hair growth serum called Lavdik, which they ordered after seeing an ad for Jemros. The product contains ginger extract, ginseng extract, fleece flower root, grape seed oil, glycerol, carbomer, propylene glycol, and rosemary oil, and the user is unsure if it is effective or a scam.
