May 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Activating Wnt in skin cells controls the number of hair follicles by directing cell movement and fate.
September 2013 in “Experimental Dermatology” The document concluded that stem cells are crucial for skin repair, regeneration, and may help in developing advanced skin substitutes.
610 citations,
April 2014 in “Nature Reviews Immunology” The document concludes that understanding how the skin's immune system and inflammation work is complex and requires more research to improve treatments for skin diseases.
129 citations,
May 2015 in “Cell Stem Cell” Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
72 citations,
April 2008 in “Organogenesis” Wnt signaling is crucial for skin and hair development and its disruption can cause skin tumors.
71 citations,
February 2020 in “Journal of Translational Medicine” Progress has been made in skin and nerve regeneration, but more research is needed to improve methods and ensure safety.
69 citations,
June 2017 in “Experimental Biology and Medicine” Advanced human skin models improve drug development and could replace animal testing.
67 citations,
January 2020 in “Cellular & Molecular Immunology/Cellular & molecular immunology” Tissue-resident memory T cells can protect against infections and cancer but may also contribute to autoimmune diseases.
36 citations,
July 2014 in “Experimental Dermatology” Skin and hair can regenerate after injury due to changes in gene activity, with potential links to how cancer spreads. Future research should focus on how new hair follicles form and the processes that trigger their creation.
20 citations,
November 2021 in “Frontiers in cell and developmental biology” Skin organoids from stem cells could better mimic real skin but face challenges.
