October 2009 in “Cancer research” Disrupting Stat3 in hair follicle stem cells greatly reduces skin tumor formation.
23 citations,
June 2012 in “PLOS ONE” KLF4 is important for maintaining skin stem cells and helps heal wounds.
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.
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.
11 citations,
August 2018 in “Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics of North America” Adipose-derived stem cells show potential for skin rejuvenation and wound healing but require more research to overcome challenges and ensure safety.
