April 2019 in “Stem cells international” Markers CRABP1, Nestin, and Ephrin B2 are present in skin cancer environments and may influence their development.
September 2023 in “Frontiers in cell and developmental biology” Vav2 changes how hair follicle stem cells' genes work as they age, which might improve regeneration but also raise cancer risk.
93 citations,
February 2009 in “Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences” 5α‐reductase isozymes are crucial for prostate development and health, and targeting them can help prevent and treat prostate issues.
8 citations,
September 2013 in “Molecular carcinogenesis” Rapamycin reduces skin cell growth and tumor development by affecting cell signaling in mice.
7 citations,
August 2017 in “PloS one” Key genes linked to hair growth and cancer were identified in hairless mice.
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.
333 citations,
