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.
6 citations
,
September 2017 in “Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine” This study found that two short peptides derived from pigment epithelium-derived factor significantly accelerated full-thickness skin wound healing in mice through mechanisms that may involve increased cell proliferation and stem cell mobilization.
47 citations
,
April 1978 in “Journal of Cutaneous Pathology” This study found that basal cell epithelioma resembles fetal primary epithelial germ based on specific cellular characteristics.
277 citations
,
October 1982 in “The Journal of Cell Biology” This study found that the cytokeratin patterns in skin epithelia can distinguish between different types, with basal-cell epitheliomas showing a striking similarity to the pilosebaceous tract.
