March 2015 in “The EMBO Journal” This review discusses the plasticity of stem cell populations and their ability to switch between functions for tissue homeostasis and regeneration, emphasizing environmental and hormonal influences, and reports no new results.
January 2016 in “eScholarship (California Digital Library)” This dissertation reports that horizontal basal cells in the olfactory epithelium undergo symmetric divisions balanced by population asymmetry, which supports their renewal and differentiation during tissue homeostasis and regeneration.
February 2013 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” This study found that certain polymorphisms in EGF and EGFR genes may increase susceptibility to alopecia areata in the Korean population, and these genetic variations could be associated with specific symptoms such as nail involvement and body hair loss.
April 2010 in “Cancer Research” This study found that altering CDK4 expression in mice affects the population of keratinocyte stem cells, suggesting a correlation with susceptibility to skin papillomas.
