June 2007 in “European Journal of Cell Biology” Hair follicle stem cells are key for hair and skin regeneration, can be reprogrammed, and have potential therapeutic uses, but also carry a risk of cancer.
The revised study on how inflammation affects cancer stem cells was accepted after improving clarity and structure.
The revised manuscript on how inflammation affects cancer stem cells was accepted after addressing issues with clarity and detail.
The reviewers found the manuscript on inflammation's role in cancer stem cells to be relevant but suggested it needs clarity, more background information, discussion on immune cells' role in tumors, updated references, and grammar corrections.
The reviewers suggest clarifying the abstract, adding background on inflammation's effect on stem cells and cancer, discussing immune cells' role in tumors, and considering inflammation's potential to reduce cancer growth.
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.
124 citations,
February 2018 in “Nature Reviews Genetics” Stem cell plasticity is crucial for wound healing but can also contribute to cancer development.
62 citations,
April 2009 in “British Journal of Dermatology” Epidermal stem cells could lead to new treatments for skin and hair disorders.
49 citations,
