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.
47 citations,
March 2019 in “Journal of immunology research” Valproic Acid could potentially be used to treat immune-related conditions due to its ability to modify immune cell functions.
23 citations,
June 2012 in “PLOS ONE” KLF4 is important for maintaining skin stem cells and helps heal wounds.
April 2016 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The symposium showed that stem cells are key for understanding and treating skin diseases and for developing new skin models and therapies.
124 citations,
February 2018 in “Nature Reviews Genetics” Stem cell plasticity is crucial for wound healing but can also contribute to cancer development.
55 citations,
March 2015 in “Carcinogenesis” WNT10A helps esophageal cancer cells spread and keep renewing themselves.
49 citations,
October 2009 in “Cancer research” Disrupting Stat3 in hair follicle stem cells greatly reduces skin tumor formation.
5 citations,
August 2013 in “InTech eBooks” KLF4 is important for maintaining stem cells and has potential in cancer treatment and wound healing.
3 citations,
September 2016 in “Natural Product Communications” Germacrene analogs, especially 8-Hydroxy germacrene B, are more effective than germacrone at blocking a hormone-related enzyme and could help treat hair loss.

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.
Skin stem cells are crucial for maintaining and repairing skin, with potential for treating skin disorders and improving wound healing.
88 citations,
February 2008 in “Journal of Medicinal Chemistry” Scientists made the first metal-based compounds from a nonsteroidal antiandrogen drug, which showed potential in fighting both hormone-dependent and independent prostate cancer cells.
