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.

179 citations,
July 2016 in “Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology” Epigenetic changes control how adult stem cells work and can lead to diseases like cancer if they go wrong.
1 citations,
November 2017 The document concludes that while some organisms can regenerate body parts, mammals generally cannot, and cancer progression is complex, involving mutations rather than a strict stem cell hierarchy.

December 2019 in “Frontiers in genetics” GLI1 might protect against the start of skin cancer and is not linked to cancer severity.
5 citations,
July 2022 in “Orphanet journal of rare diseases” RSPO1 mutations in certain patients lead to skin cells that don't develop properly and are more likely to become invasive, increasing the risk of skin cancer.
135 citations,
December 2013 in “Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology” Stem cells in the hair follicle are regulated by their surrounding environment, which is important for hair growth.
48 citations,
July 2008 in “Acta Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica” Wnt signaling is important for development and cell regulation but can cause diseases like cancer when not working properly.
17 citations,
March 2012 in “The Journal of Pathology” In vivo lineage labelling is better than in vitro methods for identifying and understanding stem cells.
10 citations,
May 2018 in “Nutrition and Cancer” Certain spices may help prevent and treat skin cancer, but more human trials are needed.
