139 citations,
August 2018 in “Development” The niche environment controls stem cell behavior and plasticity, which is important for tissue health and repair.
137 citations,
April 2015 in “Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology” Different types of stem cells with unique roles exist in blood, skin, and intestines, and this variety is important for tissue repair.
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.
72 citations,
July 2012 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Mice lacking a key DNA methylation enzyme in skin cells have a lower chance of activating stem cells necessary for hair growth, leading to progressive hair loss.
31 citations,
May 2015 in “Stem Cell Reports” Stem cells and their surrounding environment in hair follicles work closely together, affecting hair growth and having implications for cancer and tissue regeneration.
24 citations,
May 2016 in “Stem Cell Reviews and Reports” The document concludes that understanding how adult stem and progenitor cells move is crucial for tissue repair and developing cell therapies.
9 citations,
January 2017 in “Elsevier eBooks” Skin's epithelial stem cells are crucial for repair and maintenance, and understanding them could improve treatments for skin problems.
1 citations,
May 2017 in “InTech eBooks” Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
